Why I Love This Recipe
- Easy dessert: All you need are 4 ingredients and 10 minutes prep time for this easy dessert that doesn’t require a mixer or baking.
- Crowd-pleasing: Whether you serve this ice cream sandwich cake recipe for a birthday party, by the pool or enjoy it as a cookout cake, this frozen treat is the best in summer!
Recipe Variations
- Ice cream sandwich flavor: Traditional vanilla ice cream sandwiches, chocolate, Neapolitan or Oreo ice cream sandwiches all work great!
- Round ice cream sandwich: If you use a round ice cream sandwich like Skinny Cow, you might need a few more.
- Oreo variations: Use your favorite from Golden Oreos to mint or chocolate. Try a seasonal variety for something different!
- Whipped cream: Instead of Cool Whip try homemade whipped cream.
- Sauce: Instead of hot fudge sauce, use caramel sauce! Use any ice cream sauce or syrup you would like, including a drizzle of Magic Shell topping.
- Favorite toppings: Sprinkles, crushed Oreo cookies, chocolate chip cookies, M&M’s, nuts – peanuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds, toasted coconut or even chopped candy bars.
How to Make Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
In the bottom of a 9×13″ baking dish spread 12 of the ice cream sandwiches, cut to fit as needed.
Spread 1/2 of the hot fudge sauce over the layer ice cream sandwiches then top with half of the thawed Cool Whip. Sprinkle with Oreo crumbs.
Repeat layers of remaining ice cream sandwiches, chocolate sauce, Cool Whip, then Oreos. Top with sprinkles or mini M&M’s (my favorite!). Loosely cover and store in the freezer until firm about 1-3 hours.
Storage Instructions
Store this easy ice cream cake with ice cream sandwiches covered tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil in the freezer for up to 1 week.
You might be able to store it longer if stored near back of the freezer or in a deep freezer!
