The beauty of this “cake” is that you can use whatever kind of ice cream sandwiches you’d like, you can stack them however you’d like, and you can use whatever pan or plate you want. I’ve seen them stacked in 2 layers and served in a 9×13 baking dish. No matter what you do it’ll be delicious.
Ice Cream Sandwich Cake Ingredients
- 12 ice cream sandwiches
- 16 oz. whipped topping
- hot fudge
How to make an ice cream sandwich cake
Step 2: Add your first layer of sandwiches.
Step 6: Use remaining whipped topping to get a nice even coat all around the cake and spread until smooth.
Step 7: Spoon hot fudge into a plastic bag. Cut the tip off of the bag and drizzle the cake with hot fudge sauce (NOT heated). Freeze at least 1-2 hours before serving.
I think this cake tastes just as delicious on day 2. The ice cream sandwiches soften slightly and are so delicious!

Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
I tried your recipe for ice cream cake using ice cream sandwiches. It was so simple! So easy to put together. My four days shy of turning 5 grandkids (twins- a boy and a girl) ate every morsel. Little Asa even licked his plate!! I used Klondike square ice cream sandwiches and stacked two high and two wide. The lite Cool Whip was perfect for the frosting. When we are entertaining a crowd, I will make one wider and higher. Klondike ice cream sandwiches are the BEST!!! Thank you for this great dessert idea.
Oh, yay! So glad to hear!
