Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter Ice Cream Cake

June 1, 2020 By Blaire Leave a Comment

Whether it be a holiday, birthday or just a hot Summer day when you’re craving ice cream, this ice cream cake truly does not disappoint.

Next to my Mom’s famous pepperoni pizza dip, it is the most requested recipe every time I make it.

Don’t let the prep time scare you.  I promise this isn’t that hard to make and that the time more so is just for baking off a full tube of family sized cookie dough. Yes, we use the full tube. But if you are in a pinch for time, you could totally use store bought cookies to speed up the process.

What I like about baking off the cookies myself is the fact that I can control them being slightly under baked, which I think is the best way to go for these. We combine the cookies with caramelized walnuts to make a killer filling that is layered throughout the cake.

I first made this years ago from a Nestle Tollhouse cookbook, but there wasn’t nearly as much filling as I have here. Not only that, but there was no cookie butter added and I think that truly makes the cake.And, because this is being posted on the first day of the month, you know what that means. Another print was made by my talented friend Katie at @lifeofthe_arty to match this recipe. You can find other prints she has done in this lavender blueberry scone post and the Southwest Ranch stuffed pepper post. For this month’s featured recipe, find the print here.

One trick that I’ve learned along the way is to use these pre-cut pan liners. I used to struggle lining the spring form pan with taping pieces of parchment together, but that was a difficult task because duh, they’re non-stick. These pre-cut ones have made it so much easier to line the sides. To line the bottom of the pan, trace a circle using the pan and then cut it out.

This recipe can also be used with any cookie/ice cream combo! I’d love to hear what variations you guys come up with 🙂

Ingredients

Walnut Topping:

  • 1 3/4 cups walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 stick of salted butter
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons of vanilla
  • 30oz tube of Chocolate chip cookie dough
  • 2 quarts of Vanilla bean ice cream, softened in the microwave for 1 minute
  • 1 – 12.8oz jar of Hershey’s hot fudge, softened
  • 1 – 14.1oz jar of Crunchy Speculoos cookie butter, softened

Instructions

NOTE: The cookies and the walnut topping can be done days in advance as long as they are stored in a sealed container. I would highly recommend doing so, since this is the bulk of the “work” put into this recipe.

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Bake off all cookies in the tube. Since these are going to be crushed, the shape of them is irrelevant. I like to do small ones, however, to speed of the cooking process. I also like to cook them slightly underbaked. Once the cookies are done, crush them up and put them in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Turn oven up to 425. Combine all walnut topping ingredients in a glass dish. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool completely. Take the crushed cookies and the caramelized walnut mixture and combine the two. Set this cookie mixture aside.
  3. In the bottom of a parchment lined 10 inch spring form pan, pour 1/2 cup of the cookie butter and spread evenly. Take 2 cups of the cookie mixture and layer that on top. Then add 1 quart of the ice cream.
  4. Swirl 1/2 cup of hot fudge on top of the ice cream, then layer 3 cups of the cookie mixture on top of that. Next, another quart of ice cream, then swirl 1/4 cup fudge and 1/2 cup cookie butter on top of that. Top with 2 cups of the cookie mixture.
  5. With any remaining hot fudge and cookie butter, drizzle them on top before freezing the whole thing for at least 2 hours. To make a quick piping bag, put the end of a plastic baggie at the bottom of a cup, then drape the bag opening over the cup edges. Pour in the fudge, then seal the bag and snip the end before drizzling. Repeat with the cookie butter, if you have any left. See picture below.

Abbreviated layering instructions from the bottom up:

  • 1/2 cup cookie butter
  • 2 cups cookie mix
  • 1 Quart of ice cream
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge
  • 3 cups of cookie mix
  • 1 Quart of ice cream
  • 1/4 cup fudge, 1/2 cup cookie butter
  • 2 cups of cookie mix
  • Hot fudge and cookie butter drizzle

Notes

  • To make slices, cut a circle about two inches from the edge, then make slices perpendicularly. Repeat by cutting another circle once the first ring has been cut into slices.
