This easy ice cream sandwich cake is totally customizable too, so you can tailor it to your family’s tastes. The possibilities are endless! You can get super creative with the ingredients, or stick to the basics as I did.
For instance, I am using classic vanilla ice cream sandwiches, but if there is a special flavor of ice cream sandwich you like, like chocolate or Neopolitan, those would make for yummy swaps. Next time I’d like to try using cookies & cream ice cream sandwiches. YUM!
Don’t forget the topping!
I used whipped topping for the middle and outside, but you could use any flavored softened ice cream and spread it on if you’d prefer. I have even seen other examples using chocolate pudding with the whipped topping for a chocolatey version of this yummy cake.

Ingredients
Directions
1
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Fit one layer of ice cream sandwiches on the bottom. I fit two full ones and then cut one in half. If your sandwiches are shorter and can fit facing the opposite direction, you can rotate them as well.
3
Spread half the whipped topping on top of the sandwiches followed by another layer of ice cream sandwiches and then the remaining whipped topping.
4
Then sprinkle the chopped candy bar on top, or chocolate chips would work, too!
5
Freeze for at least two hours or up to a week.
6
To serve, pull up on the parchment paper – the cake should onlinee right out. Place it on a cake plate. Before serving, drizzle the cake with chocolate magic shell topping or chocolate syrup if desired. Enjoy!
