Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Ice Cream Layers
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 1 quart chocolate ice cream, softened
  • to taste extra mini chocolate chips for topping for decoration

Method
 

Make the Cookie Dough
  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s fluffy and light.
  2. Add in the vanilla extract, mix well, and gradually stir in the flour.
  3. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and the mini chocolate chips, mixing until combined.
Layer the Cake
  1. Line an 8-inch round cake pan with plastic wrap, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. Press half of the cookie dough mixture into the bottom of the pan, creating a level base.
  3. Spoon the softened vanilla ice cream over the cookie dough layer, smoothing it out evenly.
  4. Pop it in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Add Layers
  1. Crumble the second layer of cookie dough on top of the firm vanilla ice cream.
  2. Layer on the softened chocolate ice cream, smoothing it out.
  3. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze the cake for at least 4 hours.
Finishing Touches
  1. Once the cake is frozen solid, carefully lift it out of the pan using the plastic wrap and flip it onto a plate.
  2. Drizzle some chocolate syrup on top and sprinkle with extra mini chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

If your ice cream is too hard to spread, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften. Consider switching up ice cream flavors for a fun twist. The cookie dough can be made ahead of time and keeps well in the fridge.
