Ice Cream Sandwich Cake Recipe
Layers of ice cream sandwiches, whipped topping, and a variety of sweet toppings create a mouthwatering combination that will have everyone asking for seconds. Plus, it’s super simple to prepare, making it perfect for any occasion!
Equipment
- 9 x 13-inch Baking Dish
- Spatula
- Spoons or Small Knife
- Measuring Spoons
- Freezer Space
Ingredients
- 24 ice cream sandwiches (your favorite flavor or even a mix of flavors!)
- 16 ounces frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed in the refrigerator
- Chocolate syrup (for drizzling)
- Caramel syrup (for drizzling)
- Topping of your choice: You can get creative with mini M&M’s, sprinkles, crushed Oreo cookies, toffee bits, chopped nuts, chopped candy bars, chocolate chips, or anything else you love!
Instructions
- Start by laying down 12 ice cream sandwiches in the bottom of your 9 x 13-inch dish. If your dish is a little smaller, you can gently cut the last ice cream sandwich in half to make it fit perfectly. Let the sandwiches soften for a few minutes to make them easier to work with. Once softened, use a spoon to gently press the ice cream sandwiches down slightly, which helps them fit more snugly together. If your pan is deep enough, you can skip this step.
- After the first layer of ice cream sandwiches is in place, spread half of the thawed whipped topping over the ice cream sandwiches, using your spatula to smooth it out evenly. This layer of whipped topping creates a fluffy, creamy contrast to the frozen ice cream sandwiches.
- Drizzle a generous amount of chocolate syrup and caramel syrup over the whipped topping layer. Let the syrups swirl naturally for a beautiful, marbled effect. Then, sprinkle your choice of toppings. I love to use mini M&M’s, crushed Oreo cookies, or toffee bits for some extra crunch and color, but feel free to get creative with your favorite mix-ins!
- Place another layer of 12 ice cream sandwiches on top of the whipped topping layer. Press them down gently as before, ensuring the ice cream sandwiches fit neatly in place.
- Spread the remaining whipped topping over this second layer of ice cream sandwiches. Drizzle more chocolate and caramel syrups for an extra touch of sweetness. Sprinkle additional toppings as desired, making sure every inch is covered with something yummy!
