PREP TIME: 10 Minutes “BAKE” (aka FREEZE) TIME: 1-2 hours Prep TipsWe’ve made this recipe MANY times over the years, so we’ve figured out a few tricks to make this ice cream sandwich cake even easier to make and serve!
How to Make Ice Cream Cake with Ice Cream SandwichesFirst, we’ll make our “frosting” by combining crushed Oreos and Cool Whip. A food processor is perfect for getting fine crumbs. Add ground Oreos to mixing bowl containing 2 cups Cool Whip. Fold ground Oreos into Cool Whip until well combined — this is the “frosting and my FAVORITE part! Seriously, I could just eat the frosting by itself! Place non-stick baking mat over a cookie pan and arrange four ice cream sandwiches together in center of baking mat. Spread a generous layer of frosting on top. Repeat with two more layers of ice cream sandwiches, then frost the top and sides of the cake. Allow cake to set in freezer for at least 1-2 hours. Depending on how soft your ice cream sandwiches got while assembling, your cake may need more time in the freezer. When ready to serve, remove from baking mat, slice and enjoy!

Cream Ice Cream Cake! What Size Cool Whip Container Do I Need?We used the large size Cool Whip container, which is 16 ounces. You probably won’t use all of it, but the smaller container might not be enough. And the way I see it, it’s always better to have a little extra frosting than not enough! How Long Can I Keep Ice Cream Cake in the Freezer?This is a great make-ahead dessert because it does need at least a couple hours to set before serving. You can even make the night before so it will have all night to re-freeze — this makes it much easier to get perfect slices! For best flavor and texture, we recommend enjoying your homemade ice cream cake within a week. Keep covered as tightly as possible to prevent freezer burn or moisture from getting into the cake. What is the Best Way to Transport an Ice Cream Cake?For short distances, a cooler with ice will work just fine for keeping your cake frozen. If you have ice packs, those are even better because they won’t melt and fill your cooler with water. More of our favorite Cookies & Cream Desserts
