Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
We adore a quick-prep, family-friendly dessert. This Ice Cream Sandwich Cake recipe has winner written all over it from the start. It’s a no-bake treat that only requires 6 ingredients and 10 minutes of time to assemble, and it is utterly delicious! Switch up the toppings for a different cake every time. It’s virtually impossible to mess up.
Ingredients you need:
- Ice Cream Sandwiches: We use the rectangular kind, but square ones are totally fine, too…you’ll just need more of them.
- Hot Fudge Topping: This is one of the layers. Who doesn’t love chocolate?! You could also make up a batch of our Homemade Chocolate Sauce and use that.
- Caramel Sauce: Another amazing layer. Buy it or make our easy Caramel Sauce.
- Whipped Topping: As much as we love homemade whipped cream, we opt for whipped topping for this frozen treat. Make sure you give it time to thaw before you’ll need it.
- Toppings: We finish this dessert off with mini chocolate chips and toffee pieces.
Recipe Variations
- Change up the toppings: Top with M&Ms, crushed up Oreos, or shortbread cookies.
- Neapolitan Ice Cream Sandwich Cake: purchase Neapolitan ice cream bar sandwiches for a chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla combination.
- Match sprinkles for the holidays: Use red, white, and blue sprinkles for 4th of July, pastel sprinkles for Easter, or red and green for Christmas.
