Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Grease and line the bases of 2 x 18cm round, deep, loose- bottomed cake tins with nonstick baking paper. Cut out an extra 5 base circles and set aside.
- For the cookies, mix the flour and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the butter, sugars and vanilla with an electric whisk on medium-high for 2-3 mins until creamy, or beat by hand for 5 mins. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well. Stir in the our mixture until just combined, then add the chocolate chips.
- Spoon 220g dough into each lined tin, reserving the rest. Bake for 12-14 mins until golden. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then remove from the tin and peel off the paper. Put on a wire rack to cool completely. Re-line the tins and make 3 more cookies (making 5 in total).
- Re-line the tins. Put 1 cookie at the bottom of each tin and set aside.
- Spoon the ice cream into a large bowl, add the spice and mix with an electric whisk for 1 min. Quickly spoon a quarter over each cookie in the tins, spreading evenly. Press another cookie on top of each layer of ice cream, then repeat with the remaining ice cream. Press the last cookie on top of one of the ice cream layers. Cover with clingfilm and freeze for 4 hrs, or overnight.
- To serve, remove from the freezer, sit for 2 mins, then remove from the tins. Put the ice-cream-topped stack on a serving plate (cookie at the bottom) and top with the taller stack. Use a palette knife to spread the ice cream around the outside, joining the stacks.
- Drizzle over the caramel sauce, allowing it to drip down the sides. Top with the Rolos, then drizzle with the chocolate sauce. Serve immediately, or store undecorated in the freezer, wrapped in clingfilm, for up to 1 month. Remove only what you are going to eat and do not refreeze after removing.
Tip: Make sure there's space in your freezer before you begin layering up the cookie stack.
