Brownie Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake
Description
The Brownie Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake involves baking four thin layers of rich brownie batter in round cake pans, then cooling completely before assembly. The cookie dough frosting is prepared with flour that is heat-treated by baking to ensure safety, mixed with softened butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, creating a creamy dough. Chocolate morsels and chopped dark chocolate are incorporated to enhance the texture and chocolate intensity.
This dessert offers contrasting textures: the fudgy, moist brownies form the base, while the cookie dough frosting adds a smooth yet chunky layer filled with chocolate bits. Layering these elements creates a decadent cake suitable for special occasions or indulgent treats. The method requires some preparation time for cooling and assembling but no additional baking for the frosting.

- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Assemble the brownie cake by placing the first brownie layer on a cake plate. Then spread 1/3 of the no-bake cookie dough over it. Place the next brownie on top and then spread ½ of the remaining cookie dough. Top with the third brownie and spread the remaining cookie dough on top.
- Take the remaining brownie round and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- Pour the heavy cream into a microwave-safe dish and heat the cream in the microwave until it begins to boil.
- Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heat proof bowl and pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate stirring until completely melted and smooth. Approximately 2-3 minutes.
