Ice cream sandwich cake is easy dessert

This deliciousness made its way to my heart years ago when a neighbor brought it to a cookout. After desserts were served, I took a small slice of this cake and fell hard.

It was so good, I went back to help myself to a second piece and it was gone!

I asked for the recipe and was completely surprised that it was made with only 3 items!

What? That's it?!

Yep. That's it.

Ice cream sandwiches filled with vanilla ice cream are the classic flavor for this no-bake cake.

No-Bake cake is fast and easy to make

Ice cream sandwiches have come a long way since I was a kid. The only flavor options back then were vanilla ice cream unless you were extremely lucky to find the rare ones filled with chocolate.

Now you can find not only vanilla and chocolate, but strawberry, mint chocolate chip, cookies and cream, and well, you get the idea. If you are vegan or have some dietary limitations, there is an option for you too.

What Type of Pan Can You Use to Make This Ice Cream Cake?

Use any square or rectangular pan that you have, but for this recipe, I favor a glass Pyrex. It allows you to see the layers when you slice into the cake and I think every kitchen should have a set of this bakeware.

Fun variety of options would be a bundt or tube cake pan, pie plate or make a super layered version in a loaf pan! Let your imagination run wild! 

Honestly, any pan will work because you can cut the ice cream sandwiches to fit any size or shape pan you're using! How is that for easy?!

No-Bake ice cream sandwich cake ingredients

  • 1 box of 12 ice cream sandwiches (your favorite flavor and brand) I used Hood Brand.
  • 1 12 oz. jar Smuckers Hot fudge sauce (or your favorite brand)
  • 1 10 oz. container Cool Whip (or homemade whipped cream)

How to assemble no-bake ice cream cake

Ice cream sandwiches make a great no-bake dessert for picnics and parties.

Place unwrapped ice cream sandwiches in a square or rectangular dish. It can be any size, (8×8, 9×9, 9×13) depending on how large of a cake you want to make.

For this recipe, I used an 8×8 Pyrex pan, which fits about 8 sandwiches.

Hot fudge sauce creates a delicious layer of this no-bake ice cream sandwich cake. A perfect dessert recipe for any backyard barbecue.

Warm the hot fudge sauce so it can be easily poured from the jar. Spread evenly over top of ice cream sandwiches.

You can warm the hot fudge sauce on the stove in a pan filled half-way with water, or you can microwave it for 20-30 seconds at a time. Be sure to stir the sauce to make sure there are not pockets of really hot sauce. 

Place dish in the freezer for 15 minutes so fudge sauce can set. When ready to serve, remove from freezer and top with Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream.

For an added bonus, you can drizzle chocolate syrup on top. I like Hershey's Chocolate Syrup, but you can use your favorite! 

So good, and SO EASY!
