1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions
Prepare the Pan:

Sprinkle half the cookie dough chunks and chocolate chips over the ice cream.
Add a layer of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and drizzle caramel sauce on top.
Top Layer:
Spread the remaining vanilla ice cream on top, smoothing the surface.
Freeze:
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
Whipped Cream Topping:
In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Decorate & Serve:
Remove the cake from the pan using the parchment overhang.
Spread whipped cream over the top and garnish with extra cookie dough chunks or chocolate chips, if desired.

Notes
Use softened ice cream to make layering smoother and easier.
For clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe clean between cuts.
Freeze overnight for best texture and flavor melding.
Store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 5 days.
