This frozen cake involves a giant baked cookie, cookie dough ice cream, hot fudge topping, cool whip, chocolate chips and COOKIES. It doesn’t get any better than this!
How’s your week going? Anything fun going on? Share some fun tales with me from your week! I have a funny one to share. This totally irresistible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Cake has been sitting in our downstairs freezer for the past few days. We have pulled it out periodically for dessert and I’d say half of it remains. Yesterday I opened the freezer to grab something out, and…!!! There were large chunks of the cake missing around the edges in a very haphazard fashion. Later Elijah confessed to sneaking in and taking bites when hunger struck. Then! Last night I went downstairs to check laundry to find DAN bent over the open freezer with a fork in his hand. He froze when I walked in and the guilty look on his face was priceless. My alternate title was born: Ice Cream Cake that You’ll Need to Lock Up.
I dreamed up this ice cream cake in my sleep last week. Am I the only person who dreams of food constantly? I woke up and could hardly wait to put it together. It exceeded my expectations and my aforementioned stories should act as proof that it is DELICIOUS and impossible to resist.
This would be a great dessert to serve at a summer gathering. Or to keep in your freezer as your family nibbles away at it like starving mice. [ashamed face]
Enjoy, friends! Have a great rest of your week!

Can I just say I love each and every individual word on this title and seeing them all together seriously made me anxious? haha
