Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake Ingredients

  • 24 vanilla ice cream sandwiches, unwrapped
  • 2 (8 ounce) containers whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar hot fudge ice cream topping, warmed
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base Layer: Arrange a layer of vanilla ice cream sandwiches evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish, creating a solid foundation for the cake.
  2. Add Toppings: Spread a layer of whipped topping over the ice cream sandwiches. Then drizzle the warmed hot fudge topping and caramel topping evenly over the whipped cream layer to create a rich, layered taste.
  3. Repeat Layers: Continue layering with the remaining ice cream sandwiches, whipped topping, hot fudge topping, and caramel topping. Ensure the final top layer is a smooth blanket of whipped topping for a neat finish.
  4. Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top layer of whipped topping to add texture and a nutty flavor.
  5. Freeze to Set: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes or until the dessert is firmly set and ready to slice.
  6. Serve: Remove from the freezer, slice into portions, and serve immediately. You may add your favorite extra toppings if desired, such as additional fudge or caramel drizzle.

Notes

  • For easier slicing, let the cake sit out for a few minutes at room temperature before serving.
  • Feel free to substitute pecans with walnuts or skip nuts for a nut-free version.
  • Use warmed toppings to make layering smooth and blending easier.
  • This cake is best enjoyed the same day it is assembled for optimal texture.
  • Store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 3 days.
