Of all the cakes that are truly memorable, this Cookie Dough Ice Cream Cake remains top of list.
Luckily, making an ice cream cake is no longer that difficult when you use ice cream sandwiches.
It’s the perfect foundation with its chocolaty soft cookie exterior and its already filled vanilla ice cream center.
Pair it with crumbles of chocolate chip cookie dough and you have the absolute dessert that requires no baking, just a little prep and rest time.
When making this dessert, make sure you plan plenty of time for the cake to sit in the freezer.
The longer it sits, the better it will set up.
Also, run your knife under hot water and wipe with a towel before going in for the first slice.
This will give you a cleaner cut and will prevent the cake from smashing underneath the weight of a cold knife.
With Labor Day just around the corner, this Cookie Dough Ice Cream Cake will be a great dessert ice cream cake to serve to your guests and family.
Indulge in the decadent sweetness before summer officially ends.
Enjoy!
