Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 1 (18.4 ounces / 521 grams) brownie mix
- 12 ounces (340 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
- 6 chocolate chip cookies, chopped
- 6 Oreos, chopped
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Liquid and Cream Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 and ½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream, divided
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 9 ounces (255 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- ¾ cup chocolate chip cookie crumbs
- ¾ cup Oreo crumbs
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare an 8-inch by 3-inch (20 centimeters by 7.5 centimeters) springform pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Bake the brownie layer according to package directions.
- Allow the brownie to cool completely, then carefully remove it from the pan. Thoroughly clean and dry the springform pan for reassembly.
- Create the cream cheese base by blending softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and brown sugar until achieving a silky, uniform texture. Incorporate whole milk and pure vanilla extract, mixing until fully integrated.
- Whip cold heavy cream (35% milkfat) with powdered sugar using an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gently incorporate the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two stages to maintain volume.
- Separate the ice cream base into two equal portions. Blend one half with chocolate chip cookie crumbs, finely chopped cookies, and miniature chocolate chips. Mix the second portion with crushed Oreo cookies and additional cookie fragments.
- Prepare chocolate ganache by heating heavy cream until just boiling. Pour over of chocolate chips, allowing it to rest for 3 minutes before whisking into a smooth, glossy sauce.
- Line the springform pan’s interior with parchment paper, ensuring it extends slightly above the rim. Carefully replace the cooled brownie base into the pan.
- Evenly distribute the chocolate chip cookie ice cream layer over the brownie foundation. Drizzle and spread the first ganache batch across the surface.
- Gently add the Oreo-infused ice cream layer, ensuring a uniform distribution. Freeze the assembled cake for 6-8 hours or ideally overnight until completely solidified.
- Prepare additional garnishes by crumbling brownies, Oreo cookies, and chocolate chip cookies. Create a second ganache batch using heavy cream and of chocolate chips, following the previous melting technique.
- Whip additional heavy cream with powdered sugar and cocoa powder until forming stiff, peaked texture. Transfer the chocolate whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip.
- Extract the frozen cake from the pan, carefully removing the parchment paper. Artfully drizzle ganache around the cake’s perimeter using a spoon or squeeze bottle. Fill and smooth the center with remaining ganache.
- Pipe an elegant chocolate whipped cream dome in the center. Embellish with brownie fragments, Oreo pieces, chocolate chip cookies, and miniature chocolate chips.
- Return the decorated cake to the freezer until serving time. Before slicing, allow the cake to soften at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. Consume within 4-6 days for optimal flavor and texture.
