Dessert recipe for Ice Cream Sandwich Cake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12-18 Ice Cream Sandwiches (standard size)
  • 300 grams Hot Fudge Sauce (Store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Chocolate Syrup (for drizzling)
  • 2 tablespoons Sprinkles
  • 2 tablespoons Chocolate Shavings
  • 1/4 cup Maraschino Cherries
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Nuts (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Caramel Sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (for homemade fudge)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar (for homemade fudge)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (for homemade fudge)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (for homemade fudge)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (for homemade fudge)
  • 1 pinch Salt (for homemade fudge)

Instructions

  • Gather all your ingredients and clear a space in your freezer. Prepare an 8×8 or 9×13 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides to easily lift the cake out later.
  • Unwrap your ice cream sandwiches. Arrange a single layer of sandwiches snugly in the bottom of your prepared pan. You might need to cut some sandwiches to fit perfectly around the edges. Ensure there are no major gaps.
  • Drizzle a generous amount of hot fudge sauce over the first layer of sandwiches, making sure to cover them evenly. Repeat this layering process: another layer of ice cream sandwiches, followed by more hot fudge. Continue until you’ve used all your sandwiches or reached your desired height (typically 2-3 layers). Gently press down each layer to compact it.
  • Once layered, cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and transfer it to the freezer. It needs a good 4-6 hours to set firm, but overnight is always best to ensure it’s perfectly solid and easy to slice.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat and stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until completely melted and smooth. Allow it to cool slightly before using, or store it in the refrigerator and gently reheat when needed.
  • In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cold heavy cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Once your Ice Cream Sandwich Cake has thoroughly chilled and is firm enough to slice, carefully remove it from the freezer. Use the parchment paper overhang to gently lift the cake out of the baking dish and transfer it to a serving platter or cutting board. Spread a generous, fluffy layer of freshly whipped cream over the entire top surface of the cake. Decorate with your desired toppings such as sprinkles, chocolate shavings, maraschino cherries, fresh berries, chopped nuts, or caramel sauce.
  • Serve immediately or return to the freezer until ready to serve. To store, wrap the entire cake tightly in several layers of plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container in the freezer. It will maintain quality for up to 1-2 weeks. Remove from the freezer about 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow it to soften slightly for easier cutting.
