Ingredients
- Ice cream sandwiches (vanilla, chocolate, or your favorite flavors)
- Ice cream (various flavors)
- Whipped cream
- Toppings (sprinkles, chocolate chips, crushed cookies, fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, etc.)
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Line a 9×13 inch baking dish (or similar size) with parchment paper. Arrange ice cream sandwiches in a single layer on the bottom of the dish, trimming them if necessary to fit snugly.
- Layer with ice cream: Slightly soften your chosen ice cream flavors. Spread a layer of ice cream over the ice cream sandwiches.
- Add another layer of sandwiches: Place another layer of ice cream sandwiches on top of the ice cream layer.
- Repeat layers: Repeat steps 2 and 3, layering ice cream and ice cream sandwiches until you reach your desired height (2-3 layers is recommended).
- Frost with whipped cream: Spread whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake.
- Add toppings: Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings.
- Freeze: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to set completely.
- Serve: Cut the cake into squares and serve immediately.
Notes
- Let the ice cream soften slightly before spreading, but don’t let it melt completely.
- You can use any combination of ice cream sandwich and ice cream flavors you like.
- Get creative with your toppings!
- For easier slicing, run a sharp knife under warm water between cuts.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the freezer.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free ice cream sandwiches. Dairy-free options are also possible.
