How to Make An Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

This comes together in about 10 minutes, plus freeze time.

Unwrap Ice Cream Sandwiches: Unwrap 10 ice cream sandwiches—use classic vanilla, chocolate, or mix both for variety. I want to try mint chocolate chip!

Arrange them in a single layer in a 9×13″ dish.

You will have to break one in half for this size dish. Go ahead and finish that other half!

Crush Oreos: Crush a package of Oreos. I find the easiest way to do this is to place them in a ziploc bag and roll them with a rolling pin.

Mix Cool Whip: Add crushed Oreos to the Cool Whip and blend well. Be sure to reserve a few Oreos to go on top of the cake.

Spread Cool Whip: use a spatula to spread the Cool Whip over top evenly.

Top With Oreos: Add more crushed Oreos to decorate the top of the cake and drizzle with chocolate sauce.

Freeze: Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 2 hours, or until ready to serve.  Enjoy!!
