Ice Cream Chocolate Crunch Cake

Print Recipe

A decadent layered dessert featuring a crunchy chocolate cookie base, creamy ice cream center, and rich chocolate ganache topping — the ultimate frozen treat for chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 gallon chocolate or vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 1 cup crispy rice cereal
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzling)
  • Whipped cream and sprinkles (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or baking dish to form a crust.
  2. Freeze the crust for 10–15 minutes until firm.
  3. Spread half of the softened ice cream over the crust. Sprinkle half of the crispy rice cereal on top.
  4. Add the remaining ice cream and top with the rest of the cereal. Smooth the surface.
  5. Freeze for at least 1–2 hours until firm.
  6. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth to make ganache.
  7. Pour ganache over the frozen cake and spread evenly. Return to freezer for another hour.
  8. Before serving, drizzle with chocolate syrup and garnish with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired.
  9. Slice and serve immediately from the freezer.

Notes

  • Soften ice cream just enough to spread — avoid melting it completely.
  • You can use any ice cream flavor for variety (e.g., mint chip, cookies & cream).
  • For a nutty twist, add chopped nuts between the layers.
  • Use a warm knife for easier slicing.
