These cubes are rich, chewy, deeply chocolatey, and taste incredibly indulgent straight from the freezer. They have that soft cookie dough texture with a slightly fudgy bite from the cocoa powder and melted chocolate topping.

Instructions
Add all ingredients but the melted chocolate to a food processor. Blend until a thick, sticky chocolate cookie dough forms.
The dough will be sticky — this is normal and helps create that soft, fudgy cookie dough texture once frozen. Lightly wet your fingers with water before handling the dough to make it much easier to press into the silicone ice cube tray.
Firmly press the dough into 12 small silicone cube molds, smoothing the tops with damp fingers as needed.
Melt the chocolate chips and spoon a layer over each cube.
Freeze for 2 hours, or until firm.
Pop out of the molds and store in the fridge or freezer.
