This ice cream sandwich cake is SO easy to make! Ice cream sandwiches are stacked, then frosted in whipped topping, and drizzled with hot fudge. This post was originally shared in 2014 and now includes a step by step video!

What do you make for a child who doesn’t care for birthday cake? In years past I’ve made him a brownie trifle, a sugar cookie pizza, and even a loaf of garlic bread with a candle. This year I made him one of our favorites—an ice cream sandwich cake! This cake comes together SO quickly, is easy to customize, and it always a hit. We’ve used both vanilla and chocolate ice cream sandwiches to make this cake and they were equally good.

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.

How to make an ice cream sandwich cake

Step 1: Start by spreading a thin layer of whipped topping on your platter.

Step 2: Add your first layer of sandwiches.

Step 3: Spread sandwiches with a layer of whipped topping.

Step 4: Add another layer of ice cream sandwiches. Repeat until all sandwiches have been used.

Step 5: Frost the entire cake with a thin layer of whipped topping. Let freeze 15 minutes. Just long enough for the whipped topping to harden slightly before spreading a thicker layer over the cake.

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!

    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.
