Instructions

Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
Mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted coconut oil until evenly combined.
Press the mixture into the pan to form a crust and freeze for 15 minutes.
Spread softened chocolate ice cream over the crust, smooth the top, and freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
Layer sliced strawberries over the chocolate ice cream and gently swirl in strawberry jam if using.
Spread vanilla ice cream over the strawberry layer and smooth out the top. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, melt chocolate chips with coconut cream until smooth, then drizzle over the frozen cake.
Garnish with fresh strawberries and chocolate shavings. Let sit for 5–10 minutes at room temperature before slicing.

Notes

Can substitute raspberries and raspberry jam for a tangier variation.

Add crushed nuts or sandwich cookies for texture and flavor variety.

Swirl in peanut butter or almond butter for added richness.

Use different ice cream flavors like mint or coffee for a sophisticated twist.

To slice cleanly, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wipe between cuts.
