EASY ICE CREAM SANDWICH CAKE INGREDIENTS
Ice Cream Sandwiches- This recipe uses a total of 6 vanilla sandwiches to build the two layers of this ice cream cake. I use Blue Bunny brand, but you can use any brand you can find in your local grocery store. The only requirement really is that they are rectangular, or your cake will have lots of gaps.
You may even experiment with different flavors you find! You can try Neapolitan, cookies and cream, or even mint!
Cool Whip- Technically you can make your own whipped cream if you prefer, but I say keep it simple! An 8 oz. tub of Cool Whip works perfectly for this Easy Ice Cream Sandwich Cake recipe. It even comes in Extra Creamy, Sugar Free, or Lite varieties if you have a preference!
Oreos- You only need 4 or 5 crushed Oreos for the Oreo layer, but you are of course welcome to add more! There are also lots of fun flavors to experiment with here if are feeling creative. Mint Oreos work great with Mint flavored ice cream sandwiches! Or you can do what I do and use Double Stuffed!
HOW TO MAKE ICE CREAM SANDWICH CAKE
Now that you have selected all of your chosen ingredients, it’s time to assemble this cake!
- First, line an 8 1/2-inch by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Allow the extra paper to line the walls and hang over the sides of the pan.
- Unwrap 3 of the ice cream sandwiches and line the bottom of the pan. You will need to cut one of the sandwiches in half and lay the halves side by side to properly fill the pan.
- Next, top the ice cream sandwich layer with 4 oz. of Cool Whip (approximately half the tub). Spread the Cool Whip layer evenly over the sandwiches.
- Now sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies over the layer of Cool Whip, distributing them evenly.
- Next, add the final layer of ice cream sandwiches over the top of the Cool Whip and Oreos. Place the sandwiches the same as the first layer and gently press them into the Cool Whip layer to squish the Whip into the sides and crevices.
- Finish by spreading the remaining Cool Whip onto the top of the ice cream sandwich cake and covering it completely.
- Finally, cover the cake with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least an hour until firm.
- When you remove the cake from the freezer, lift the parchment and remove the cake from the pan. Then use a knife to smooth out the Cool Whip on the top and sides, redistributing it if necessary. Your easy ice cream cake is ready to serve!
To decorate your ice cream sandwich cake, add some rainbow sprinkles, more crushed Oreos, or even a chocolate drizzle on top. The sky is the limit! I’ve even added sliced strawberries and blueberries for the 4th of July.
