Cookie Cake Ice Cream: The Ultimate Dessert Mash-Up

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck between choosing a warm, gooey cookie cake or a cool scoop of ice cream, you’re not alone. But why settle for one when you can have both? Say hello to cookie cake ice cream—the indulgent, mouthwatering dessert that blends your two favorite treats into one epic bite.

Whether you're planning a birthday party, cooling off on a summer day, or just treating yourself, this dessert is the perfect showstopper.

 

 What Is Cookie Cake Ice Cream?

Cookie cake ice cream is exactly what it sounds like: layers of soft, chewy cookie cake paired with rich, creamy ice cream. Think of it as an ice cream cake—but with cookie dough instead of sponge cake. Each slice delivers a mix of warm cookie flavor and chilled, velvety sweetness.

You can build it as a full cake, scoop it into cups, or make bite-sized cookie cake ice cream sandwiches. The possibilities are endless!

 

 Ingredients You’ll Need

You can keep it simple with store-bought items or go all out and make everything from scratch.

For the Cookie Cake Layer:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup brown sugar

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 2 cups chocolate chips (or mix-ins of your choice)

For the Ice Cream Layer:

• 1.5 quarts of your favorite ice cream (vanilla, cookie dough, or chocolate chip work great)

Shortcut: Use pre-made cookie dough and store-bought ice cream for a quick version!

 

How to Make Cookie Cake Ice Cream

Step 1: Bake the Cookie Cake Base
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Press half the cookie dough into a greased springform pan (or any cake pan with a removable bottom). Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool completely.

Step 2: Add the Ice Cream
Let your ice cream soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Spread a thick, even layer over the cooled cookie cake. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 3: Add the Top Cookie Layer (Optional)
Press the remaining cookie dough on top. You can either bake this layer separately and add it on top after freezing, or leave it raw for a cookie dough vibe.

Step 4: Freeze
Cover the entire cake with foil or plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 5: Slice and Serve
Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Add toppings like chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or sprinkles!

 

 Flavor Variations to Try

• Funfetti – Add rainbow sprinkles to the cookie dough

• Double Chocolate – Use chocolate cookie dough and chocolate ice cream

• Peanut Butter – Swirl peanut butter into the dough and use PB ice cream

• Mint Chocolate – Mint chip ice cream + dark chocolate chips = YES

 

When to Serve Cookie Cake Ice Cream

• Birthday parties

• Summer BBQs

• Holidays like 4th of July or Memorial Day

• Movie nights or sleepovers

• Any time you're craving something extra

 

How to Store It

Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn. It will keep well for up to 1 week in the freezer—but let’s be real, it probably won’t last that long.

 

 Final Thoughts

Cookie cake ice cream is the kind of dessert that makes people go, "Wait—what is this amazing thing?" It’s comforting, nostalgic, and just a little bit over-the-top—in the best way.

So go ahead, whip one up this weekend. Your sweet tooth will thank you.
