Begin by preparing the base: Crush the gluten-free soy-free chocolate cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a resealable bag and using a rolling pin or blitzing them in a food processor.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl. Mix the melted butter with the cookie crumbs until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to flatten and compact the crust. Place the pan in the freezer to set for about 15 minutes.
While the crust is setting, remove the soy-free chocolate ice cream from the freezer to allow it to soften. This will make spreading the ice cream easier.
Once the crust is set and the ice cream is slightly softened, spread the chocolate ice cream evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Return the pan to the freezer and let it firm up for at least 2 hours or until the ice cream is solid.
To make the chocolate ganache topping, heat the coconut cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Turn off the heat and immediately add the dark chocolate, broken into pieces. Let it sit for about 3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Remove the cake from the freezer. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the ice cream layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Return the cake to the freezer for at least 1 more hour to set the ganache.
To serve, run a warm knife around the inside edge of the springform pan before releasing the sides. Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts.
Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free chocolate ice cream cake!
