Ingredients
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup cookie dough, chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to make it easier to mix.
- While the ice cream is softening, chop the cookie dough into small, bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.

Tips
- Temperature is Key: Let your ice cream soften just enough to mix easily, but not so much that it becomes liquid. The ideal consistency is slightly soft but still holding its shape.
- Chop Cookie Dough Carefully: Use a sharp knife to create uniform, bite-sized pieces that will distribute evenly throughout the ice cream.
- Fold Gently: When mixing ingredients, use a light hand to maintain the ice cream's smooth texture and prevent over-mixing.
- Chill Before Serving: The 10-15 minute freezer rest helps the dessert set and intensifies the flavors.
- Presentation Matters: Use clear dessert glasses to showcase the beautiful layers and drizzles of caramel and chocolate.
- Make Ahead Tip: This dessert can be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer for up to 3 days, making it perfect for entertaining.
