Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
Description
This Ice Cream Sandwich Cake starts by layering full-size ice cream sandwiches in a baking pan and alternating them with hot fudge sauce and a whipped topping combined with chopped Oreos. The whipped topping adds a light, creamy texture contrasted by the crunch of Oreo cookie bits mixed throughout. The hot fudge contributes a thick, chocolatey richness that softens slightly over time, melding flavors together.
The assembly requires no baking; once layered, the assembled cake is covered and frozen for several hours to firm up. The resulting dessert offers a balance of creamy ice cream, smooth whipped topping, crunchy cookie bits, and sticky, chocolate fudge. Cutting creates a layered look with distinct textures and flavors.
This cake can be sliced for casual gatherings or served as a sweet finish to summer meals. It’s simple yet indulgent and works well as a make-ahead dessert that holds in the freezer until needed.
Using a jarred fudge sauce like Smucker’s helps with ease of spreading; warming the fudge slightly before layering makes it easier to apply evenly. The cake pans neatly using parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
Ingredients
- 14 Oreo cookies chopped into small pieces
- 8 ounces whipped topping Cool Whip or TruWhip, thawed, frozen
- 14 ice cream sandwiches full-size
- 1 jar hot fudge sauce 11-ounces
Instructions
- Line a 9x9x3-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine about ⅔ of the chopped Oreos with the whipped topping until just combined. Set aside. Reserve the remaining Oreos.
- Place half of the ice cream sandwiches in an even layer in the baking dish. You will need to cut a couple of the ice cream sandwiches to fit them snugly into the dish.
- Evenly spread half of the fudge sauce onto the ice cream sandwiches. Follow with a layer of Oreo whipped topping. Repeat layers. Sprinkle the top of the cake with the remaining chopped Oreos. Cover and freeze for at least 3 hours.
Notes
- Use a jarred hot fudge sauce or your favorite brand; warm slightly to spread more easily over ice cream sandwiches.
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper to allow easy removal of the cake after freezing.
- Freeze the assembled cake for at least 3 hours before serving to allow it to set firmly.
