Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the chocolate chip cookie dough into a rectangle on the prepared sheet.
- Bake according to package instructions for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Allow the cookie dough to cool completely.
Ice Cream Mixture
- Scoop softened vanilla ice cream into a large bowl.
- Mix in M&M's and mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Assembly
- Flip the cooled cookie dough onto wax or parchment paper and remove the original parchment.
- Spread the ice cream mixture evenly over the cookie dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one short edge, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log using the wax paper.
- Wrap the roll in wax paper and freeze for at least 2 hours.
Topping

- Spread the whipped cream over the chilled cake roll and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
- Optionally, sprinkle extra M&M's on top before serving.
Notes
Ensure cookie dough is completely cooled before adding ice cream to prevent melting. Use wax paper for rolling to make the process easier. Consider healthier alternatives like sugar-free ingredients or yogurt topping. This dessert can be made gluten-free with suitable substitutes.
