Turn baked cookies into a showstopping frozen dessert with this easy, layered icebox cake! Perfect for hot summer days or when you need a make-ahead treat that wows. With just 3 ingredients and 5 minutes of active prep, you’ll have a decadent dessert that tastes like cheesecake-stuffed cookie bars.
Ingredients
16 large cookie dough pieces (premade or homemade, baked into 4″ discs)
1.5 cups cheesecake filling (store-bought or mix 8oz cream cheese + ¼ cup sugar + 1 tsp vanilla)
½ cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for garnish)
Optional Additions:
Crushed Oreos between layers
Caramel or fudge drizzle
Sprinkles for color
Instructions
1. Bake Cookie Discs
Press 2 tbsp portions of dough into 4″ circles on parchment-lined sheets
Bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes (they’ll firm up when cooling)
Cool completely (speed this up in the fridge)
2. Layer in Loaf Pan
Line a 9×5″ loaf pan with parchment (overhang for easy removal)
Layer 1: 4 cookie discs (trim if needed)
Layer 2: ½ cup cheesecake filling (spread gently)
Layer 3: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chocolate chips
Repeat layers 3 more times, ending with chips on top
3. Freeze to Set
Cover tightly with plastic wrap
Freeze minimum 4 hours (best overnight)
Pro Tip: Weight the top with another loaf pan for even layers
4. Serve & Enjoy!
Lift out using parchment overhang
Slice into 1.5″ thick bars with a hot knife
Serve frozen (like ice cream bars!) or let soften 5 minutes
Optional: Drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving
