Ice Cream Sandwich Cake Recipe

instead of pecans, top with crushed Butterfinger candy bar.....amazing.

July 28, 2015 - This was a hit!!! I made this over the week-end & took it to a neighbors cook-out. I changed it up a bit. I started w/the Ice cream sandwiches & once I thawed out the COOL WHIP, I added a package of Instant vanilla pudding(powder)to the COOL WHIP. Which I layered on top of the Sandwiches. Next I poured on the choc sauce (need to MW for about 45-60 SEC)then I crushed NUTTER BUTTER cookies & sprinkled them on-top of the choc sauce, then repeated w/the sandwiches, choc sauce, etc. As previous reviews indicated, I put this in the freezer before adding the last layer of COOL WHIP. Froze over night & added the last of the COOL WHIP & drizzled caramel sauce on-top of that. This recipe makes a 9" x 13" pan & will serve approx 20 ~ 24 ppl. This was actually too much, as we were only 4 ppl. I left some w/neighbor & still had half of the pan for next weeks family dinner. Will make again & switch out the NUTTER BUTTERS for Oreos or other cookies/candies. 5 Stars

Made a half recipe in an 8x8. Mix whip topping with one package pudding mix (vanilla or chocolate), saving some plain whip topping to frost top after freezing (also fudge sauce to drizzle when serving). Will try with a layer of melted peanut butter and also with magic shell and oreos. Yum! Use parchment to line the pan, and either don't cover it in the freezer or use toothpicks to keep the foil off the top so it doesn't stick. Set up a topping bar with hot fudge, peanuts, pecans, crushed oreos or nutter butters, ...

Ty always requests for his birthday. Didn’t use toppings but crushed Kit Kat chocolate bars mixed with whipped topping (Cool Whip). 12 bars perfect for two layers in glass square pan.

This was great! I read the other reviews and made the following changes: I started with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, smoothed over a layer of whip cream, then added a layer of homemade caramel ice cream topping. Next put another layer of ice cream sandwiches, & another layer of whip cream. I then froze it for about 6 hours. I didn't cover it, as another person suggested, so the whip cream didn't stick to anything. Meanwhile, I made a recipe of homemade hot fudge ice cream topping & set aside. For serving, I took the ice cream sandwich cake out of the freezer about 15 minutes before cutting into it. I placed individual servings on plates & poured on the warmed homemade fudge topping over each serving. I let everyone dress their own serving with whatever toppings they wanted: Skor bar crumbles (smashed chocolate bars), Reese's peanut butter bar (also smashed into crumbles), honey roasted peanuts & pecan pieces. Definitely a keeper recipe!

I make this every year for my families Thanksgiving gathering. Everyone loves it! Instead of using store bought hot fudge, I make my own (which is so easy). I also use the neapolitan ice cream sandwiches and stager them (flip them) in the pan so the flavors aren't in a single line. People like getting the different combinations of ice cream. I still use the store bought caramel but I take the crushed nuts with me since some people in my family don't like them. This is an inexpensive and easy dessert that is delicious.

Wow! Easy and tasty as written I'm sure. My changes: only 16 ice cream sandwiches; only 1 container of cool whip mixed with one small pkg of chocolate instant pudding and 1 cup of milk. I "iced" the sides of the cake as well. Excellent! As noted by previous reviewer, take out of freezer about 20 minutes before serving.

Made for church luncheon. Folks LOVED it. I used instant chocolate pudding in the cool whip for the middle layer and regular ice-cream sandwiches for the first and third layer. Regular cool whip for the final topping along with the drizzled caramel, hot fudge sauce and peanuts. Once sliced, the layers looked fantastic with the chocolate cool whip layer in the middle. Also, I froze it without covering it, to avoid all the toppings from sticking. When I served it, I filled a large pan with ice and placed the dessert pan on top. It kept really well on the serving table.

This was amazing! Instead of pecans, I toasted about 1/2 cup of slivered almonds (put in the toaster oven on the broil setting about 3 minutes) and sprinkled the almonds between both layers. I made it the day of our party, placed it in the freezer without the foil on top, then 3 hours later took it out and sliced it with a knife into large squares. It was fabulous and got rave reviews from my guests.

I Half recipe. Line loaf pan with parchment paper to remove easily. combine 2 c cool whip with 1 c peanut butter. top with cookie crumbs, nuts or chips.

Absolutely FANTASTIC recipe for a birthday cake. I substituted two - six packs of the smaller (almost) bite size Butterfingers candy bars (six to a pack) and froze them before smashing them in the wrappers inside the six-pack wrapping frozen to mash them up for the recipe. I REALLY recommend this for any kind of celebration in addition to a birthday. It is excellent!!!

My grandson loves ice cream sandwiches. So, I googled it to see what I could find. Made a mini version of it today, as a trial run. It was a hit and will be his birthday cake. So easy, and tasty.

Instead of nuts on top I used Heathbar crunch.

Very easy to make and it’s DELICIOUS!!!! Been making it for years. You will be so pleasantly surprised by the results. And your guest will think you worked on it all day and won’t believe it’s made from ice cream sandwiches!!

Delish! I made zero changes. I did set up a bar with toppings.

Made exactly as written except I used crushed Heath bars in the layers and on top. Did not use nuts. It was excellent and would definitely make this again. I’ve even been asked for the recipe!

Easy and a great dessert for summer. My grandkids loved it and added every type of sprinkle available on top of their piece! Makes for a fun dessert for littles!

This recipe is GOLD! 😋

I've been making this for years. People always l love it. The recipe I originally was given called for you to top the dessert with crushed up Butterfinger candy bars.

10/10 would eat again.
