Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Servings: 12
Author: Jaclyn
Prep: 15 minutes
Freeze Time 2 hours 20 minutes
Total: 2 hours 35 minutes
A fun, frozen dessert made with layers of ice cream sandwiches, fudge, pudding, and whipped topping. Just 15 minutes to prep—then freeze and enjoy!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 16 oz Cool Whip thawed and divided
  • ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 19 vanilla ice cream sandwiches regular size
  • ½ cup hot fudge topping at room temperature, do not warm up, divided
  • optional toppings additional sprinkles, M&Ms, chopped-up candy bars, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, etc

Instructions

  • Line a 9 x 13 inch baking dish (see note below) with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together instant pudding and cocoa powder. Add half-and-half and mix until thickened. Fold in half of Cool Whip (8 ounces) and sprinkles. Set aside.
  • Add a single, even layer of ice cream sandwiches to the bottom of your dish. Trim sandwiches as needed to cover the bottom with no large gaps. (I did 2 rows of 4 sandwiches, and one and ⅓ sandwiches at the top.)
  • Spread ¼ cup of the fudge evenly over the sandwiches.
  • Add the chocolate mixture and spread into an even layer.
  • Place in freezer for at least 20 minutes (so sandwiches don’t sink into chocolate pudding.)
  • Remove from freezer and repeat the layers with a second layer of ice cream sandwiches and hot fudge sauce.
  • Finally, spread the remaining Cool Whip on top.
  • Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
  • Before serving, top with additional sprinkles and any other desired toppings (chopped up candy bars, M&Ms, caramel drizzle, etc). Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

I highly recommend using an extra deep 9 x 13-inch dish for this recipe so that you can cover the cake without smooshing the top. If you don't have a deep enough pan you can wait to add the final cool whip layer until 30 minutes before serving and freezer uncovered for those last 30 minutes.
