Preparation
  1. Line an 8-9 inch springform pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap for easy removal later.
  2. Grease the pan with 1 tablespoon of butter for easy release.
  3. Press 1 cup of edible chocolate chip cookie dough firmly into the bottom, then freeze for 20 minutes.
Ice Cream Layering
  1. Soften 1.5 quarts of vanilla ice cream for about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Fold together half of the mini M&M’s, crushed Oreos, and 0.5 cup of whipped topping into the softened ice cream.
  3. Spread half of the ice cream mixture evenly on the cookie dough base and freeze for 30 minutes.
  4. Spread another thin layer of edible cookie dough over the ice cream.
  5. Top with the remaining ice cream mixture, smoothing the surface, and freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight.
Finishing Touches
  1. Carefully remove the cake from the springform pan and place it on a serving plate.
