3/4 cup chocolate ganache (or melted chocolate chips with cream)
1 cup whipped topping or whipped cream
1/2 cup mini chocolate chip cookies (optional)
1 tablespoon butter (optional, for greasing pan)
Instructions

2. Press 1 cup of edible cookie dough into the bottom as the base layer, then freeze for 20 minutes.
3. Let ice cream soften for 10–15 minutes until spreadable.
4. Fold in half the M&M’s, crushed Oreos, and 1/2 cup whipped topping into the softened ice cream.
5. Spread half of the ice cream mixture over the cookie dough base, smooth it out, and freeze for 30 minutes.
6. Add another cookie dough layer, then spread the remaining ice cream mixture on top.
7. Freeze the entire cake for 4–6 hours or overnight until completely firm.
8. Remove cake from the pan, pour warm ganache over the top, and decorate with remaining toppings.
9. Let sit for 5–10 minutes before slicing with a warm knife.
10. Serve immediately or rewrap slices and store in freezer.
Notes
Use edible cookie dough only—never raw dough with eggs or untreated flour.
For the best slice, heat your knife in hot water before cutting.
Freeze between each layer if you’re working in a warm kitchen.
