Ingredients

For the Chocolate Cake Base:

  • 1 chocolate cake layer (9-inch round or 9x13-inch pan, store-bought or homemade)

For the Ice Cream Layer:

  • 1 pint chocolate ice cream, slightly softened

  • 1 pint cookies-and-cream or vanilla ice cream (optional), slightly softened

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade)

  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup or hot fudge

  • 1/4 cup chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, or crushed cookies


Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake Base

Place the chocolate cake layer in a lined 9-inch round or 9x13-inch pan for easy removal.

2. Add the Ice Cream Layer

Spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the cake.
Optionally, add a layer of vanilla or cookies-and-cream ice cream for contrast and smooth with a spatula.

3. Freeze the Cake

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2–3 hours, or until firm.

4. Add Whipped Topping & Chocolate

Spread whipped topping evenly over the frozen cake. Drizzle with chocolate syrup or hot fudge. Sprinkle chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, or crushed cookies on top.

5. Final Freeze & Serve

Freeze for another hour to let the layers set. Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts and serve immediately.


Pro Tips for a Perfect Chocolate Ice Cream Cake

  • Softening Ice Cream: Allow ice cream to soften for 5–10 minutes before spreading to make layering smooth.

  • Chocolate Layering: Use ganache or fudge sauce between layers for extra richness.

  • Presentation: Pipe whipped topping around edges and drizzle chocolate syrup for a professional look.

  • Extra Texture: Add crushed cookies, nuts, or brownie chunks between layers for added crunch.
