A show-stopping dessert featuring layers of chocolate chip cookies, creamy vanilla custard, and rich chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 chocolate chip cookies (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for ganache)
  • Additional chocolate chips or cookie crumbles for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Creamy Vanilla Custard: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot but not boiling.
  2. Temper the Egg Yolks: Whisk together the egg yolks and cornstarch in a bowl. Gradually add hot milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
  3. Combine and Cook the Custard: Pour egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Stir constantly over medium heat until it thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Flavor the Custard: Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until set, about 1-2 hours.
  5. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: In a heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Heat 1 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering.
  6. Melt the Ganache: Pour hot cream over the chocolate mixture, let sit for 5 minutes, then stir gently until smooth.
  7. Sweeten the Ganache: Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, stirring until combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
  8. Assemble the Cookie Lasagna: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, lay down a layer of chocolate chip cookies at the bottom.
  9. Add the Custard Layers: Spread half of the custard over the cookies, then place another layer of cookies followed by the remaining custard.
  10. Top it Off: Add a final layer of cookies and pour the chocolate ganache on top, spreading evenly.
  11. Chill the Layers: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  12. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with additional chocolate chips or cookie crumbles, cut into squares, and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, chill overnight to allow flavors to meld. Use gluten-free cookies for a gluten-free version.
