Instructions:

Make the Cookie Dough Layer:

Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the flour and salt. Gradually add the milk until the dough reaches a soft consistency. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.

Press into Pan: Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper. Place the pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Assemble the Ice Cream Layers:

Add Vanilla Ice Cream: Once the cookie dough layer has set, spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the cookie dough. Smooth the top with a spatula. Freeze for another 30 minutes.

Add Cookie Dough Ice Cream: Spread the softened chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream over the vanilla ice cream layer. Smooth the top and freeze the entire cake for 2-3 hours, or until firm.

Make the Chocolate Ganache:

Prepare the Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips and butter in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and shiny. Allow the ganache to cool slightly.

Assemble the Cake:

Drizzle with Ganache: Once the ice cream cake is firm, remove it from the springform pan and place it on a serving plate. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides.

Garnish: Garnish with mini chocolate chips, cookie dough balls, chocolate chunks, and chocolate shavings or curls for an extra indulgent finish.

Serve:

Slice and Enjoy: Freeze for another 30 minutes to set the ganache, then slice and enjoy this rich, creamy, and chocolatey ice cream cake masterpiece!
