Instructions

Make the Chocolate Cake:

In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa, and baking soda. Add egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla; mix well. Stir in boiling water.
Pour into pan and bake for 22–25 minutes. Cool completely. -
Prepare Eggless Cookie Dough:
Cream butter and sugar until light. Add vanilla. Mix in heat-treated flour, then milk as needed to reach dough consistency. Stir in mini chocolate chips. Set aside. -
Prepare Ice Cream Layer:
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add brown sugar, milk, and vanilla; mix until creamy. Fold in Cool Whip and mini chocolate chips. Gently fold in chunks of cookie dough. -
Assemble the Cake:
Place cooled cake layer at the bottom of a springform pan. Spread cookie dough ice cream mixture evenly on top. Freeze until firm (at least 4 hours or overnight). -
Frost and Decorate:
Remove from freezer, frost with additional Cool Whip, decorate with mini chocolate chips and drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired. Freeze again until ready to serve.

Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
