Detailed Directions and Instructions
1. Prepare the Brownie Base:
Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix package. Grease an 8×3 inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper, ensuring to grease the top side of the parchment paper as well. Prepare the brownie batter as directed and bake in the prepared pan. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely before removing them from the pan. Clean and dry the pan for assembly.
2. Make the Ice Cream Layers:
In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In another bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold about 1/3 of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully combined.
To prepare the flavors, fold in chocolate chip cookie crumbs, chopped chocolate chip cookies, and mini chocolate chips for the chocolate chip cookie ice cream. For the Oreo ice cream, fold in the Oreo crumbs and chopped Oreos.
3. Make the First Batch of Ganache:
Heat 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream until it begins to boil. Pour the hot cream over 3 oz of chocolate chips. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes and then whisk until smooth. Set aside.
4. Assemble the Cake:
Line the sides of a clean 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper extending above the top edge. Optionally, place a cardboard cake circle in the bottom. Return the cooled brownie base to the pan. Spread the chocolate chip cookie ice cream evenly over the brownie layer. Add a layer of chocolate ganache, spreading it evenly. Top with the Oreo ice cream, smoothing it out. Freeze the cake for 6-8 hours or overnight until it is fully frozen.
5. Finish the Cake:
Chop or crumble brownies, Oreos, and chocolate chip cookies for garnish. To make the ganache, heat 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream until boiling. Pour it over 6 oz of chocolate chips, letting it sit for 3-4 minutes before whisking until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. For the chocolate whipped cream, whip 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder until stiff peaks form, then transfer to a piping bag.
6. Decorate:
Remove the cake from the pan and peel away the parchment paper. Drizzle the ganache around the edge and over the top of the cake. Pipe a dome of chocolate whipped cream in the center and garnish with chopped brownies, Oreos, and chocolate chip cookies.
7. Serve:
Keep the cake in the freezer until ready to serve. Let it sit out for about 30 minutes before cutting to soften slightly. Return any leftovers to the freezer. This treat is best enjoyed within 4-6 days.
