Ingredients
For the cake roll
- 1 package chocolate chip cookie dough Soft and buttery base
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (softened) Rich and creamy flavor
For the filling and topping
- 1 cup M&M's candy Adds color and crunch
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips Extra chocolate flavor
- 1 cup whipped cream Light topping for the roll
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar Enhances sweetness of whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Deepens flavors

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the cookie dough into a perfect rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. Bake according to package instructions, about 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
- Let the cookie dough cool completely.
- While it cools, soften the vanilla ice cream in a large bowl and stir in the M&M's and mini chocolate chips.
Assembly
- Once cooled, flip the cookie dough onto a large piece of wax paper or parchment paper, peeling off the baking paper.
- Spread the softened ice cream mixture evenly over the cookie dough, leaving a small border.
- Starting from one short edge, carefully roll the cookie dough into a log using the wax paper to guide.
Freezing and Serving
- Freeze the roll for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, then spread over the chilled cake roll.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup on top and scatter extra M&M's if desired.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for easy mixing. Take care while rolling to avoid cracking. For healthier alternatives, consider whole-grain cookie dough and low-sugar ice cream.
