How to Make Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cake
- Crush 20 chocolate chip cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter.
- Press the cookie crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Make the fudge sauce: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1 cup granulated sugar. Stir constantly over low heat until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat; stir in 1-2 tablespoons of rum (optional). Let cool slightly.
- Spread half of the fudge sauce over the frozen cookie crust.
- Arrange the remaining 20 chocolate chip cookies around the edge of the pan, standing them upright.
- Freeze for 15 minutes.
- While the crust chills, prepare the strawberry sauce: In a saucepan, combine 1 pint fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced), 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Let the ice cream soften slightly at room temperature (about 10-15 minutes).
- Remove the pan from the freezer. Spread half of the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the fudge layer.
- Gently swirl in half of the softened chocolate ice cream, creating a marbled effect. Do not overmix.
- Drizzle the strawberry sauce over the ice cream.
- Spread the remaining vanilla ice cream over the strawberry layer, then swirl in the remaining chocolate ice cream.
- Pour the remaining fudge sauce over the top. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of the springform pan to loosen the cake. Carefully remove the pan sides. Let the cake soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
