To make this Ice Cream Cake with Spiced Cookie Layer, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Spiced Cookie Layer:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Ice Cream Layer:

- 1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1 pint chocolate ice cream, softened

For the Topping:

- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Allow the cookie layer to cool completely.
Once the cookie layer has cooled, spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the top of the cookie layer. Smooth it out with a spatula and freeze for 30 minutes. Then, spread the softened chocolate ice cream over the vanilla ice cream layer. Smooth it out with a spatula and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
To make the topping, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the ice cream cake from the freezer and run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen it. Remove the sides of the pan and transfer the cake to a serving platter. Drizzle the chocolate topping over the top of the cake and serve immediately.
This Ice Cream Cake with Spiced Cookie Layer is a perfect dessert for any occasion. The spiced cookie layer adds a delicious crunch to the creamy ice cream layers, while the chocolate topping adds a rich and decadent finish. This dessert is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
