Ingredients

• 300 grams Chocolate cookies (e.g., Oreos or chocolate graham crackers)
• 100 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
• 250 grams Nutella (hazelnut spread)
• 1 liters Vanilla ice cream (softened)
• 250 milliliters Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 50 grams Chopped hazelnuts (optional, for garnish)
• 30 grams Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse the chocolate cookies until they form fine crumbs. Transfer to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until combined.

Step 2

Press the cookie crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan, creating an even crust. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.

Step 3

Spoon 150 grams of Nutella over the chilled crust and spread evenly using a spatula. Return to the freezer for another 10 minutes.

Step 4

Spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the Nutella layer, smoothing the top. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the firm ice cream layer.

Step 6

Warm the remaining 100 grams of Nutella in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to loosen it, then drizzle it over the whipped cream layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle the top of the cake with chopped hazelnuts and chocolate shavings for garnish, if desired.

Step 8

Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 9

Before serving, remove the cake from the springform pan. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
