Ingredients
Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
- 18 regular vanilla ice cream sandwiches (unwrapped)
- 1 (48-ounce) container cookies and cream ice cream (3 pints)
- 1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping (thawed to room temperature)
- 6–8 regular Oreos
Instructions
- Prepare: Line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. If the ice cream is very firm, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes, but do not let it get too soft.
- Add Ice Cream Sandwiches: Unwrap the ice cream sandwiches. Press 9 sandwiches evenly onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Cut 2 sandwiches slightly to fit the pan if necessary.
- Spread Ice Cream: Using a large spoon, spread half of the cookies and cream ice cream over the layer of ice cream sandwiches. Press down gently to create an even layer.
- Layer: Press the remaining 9 ice cream sandwiches firmly on top of the ice cream layer. Then spread the remaining ice cream evenly over these sandwiches, pressing firmly down again. Cover the pan tightly and place it in the freezer for about 1 hour to allow the layers to firm up.
- Crush and Spread Oreos: Remove the cake from the freezer and spread the whipped topping evenly over the entire surface. Crush the Oreos into small pieces and sprinkle them generously on top of the whipped topping. Return the cake to the freezer, covering it gently, until it is very firm.
- Remove: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cake out of the pan. For clean slices, run a knife under hot water, dry it quickly, slice the cake, and repeat for each cut.
- Serve: Serve immediately or return any leftovers tightly covered to the freezer to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For easiest slicing, ensure the cake is very firm before cutting.
- Allow ice cream sandwiches to soften slightly before assembling for easier spreading.
- You can substitute Oreos with any other chocolate sandwich cookies as preferred.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy removal from the pan.
- Return leftover cake to the freezer promptly to prevent melting.
