Dressed up store bough ice cream sandwiches, combined with ice cream toppings and candy make up this simple Hot Fudge Ice Cream Sandwich Cake.
I can't remember the first time I tasted this Ice Cream Sandwich Cake, but what do remember is how much I loved it!!! I do remember getting this recipe from a friend and I was surprised to find out that this delicious cake is easily made using store bought ice cream sandwiches and comes together in about 30 minutes.
If you like ice cream cakes than you have noticed how crazy high they are in the grocery store. Why pay so much when you can easily make one at home. My son loves ice cream sandwiches, so I think I will be making this cake for his birthday next summer.
The best thing about this cake is that the flavor possibilities are endless. Interchange ice cream sandwiches, toppings and different candies to create your favorite flavor. A few of my favorite toppings are chocolate, butterscotch, caramel or marshmallow topping. Just select a candy toppings according to your ice cream topping flavor it's as easy as that.
Strawberry or Neapolitan is a delicious ice cream sandwich choice. If you love chocolate I would go with crushed whoppers, crushed Oreo's, chocolate chips, m&m's for the candy topping.
If using butterscotch or caramel topping go with crushed butterfingers, snickers or heath bar bits. Another great flavor combination is Smuckers marshmallow topping with plain or chocolate cool whip and chocolate chips. I think the flavor possibilities are endless.
I've included a few step-by-step photos to show you just how easy this ice cream cake came together. As you can see by the photos above I forgot to add the foil (for easy removal) in the dish before I got started, but I quickly corrected it and continued on.
I hope you enjoy this cake as much as my family does.

Linked up my cookies, too.
This looks divine!
thank you so much for the pumpkin pie bar link!! I think I just might give it a try.
you are the best Tina!
You will then have your mint ice cream sandwiches. TADA, no need to worry that they don't make the flavor you like, cause you can make it ANY flavor that you have ice cream for - and you can MAKE your OWN ice cream flavors too.
It will take a few minutes longer to make your own sandwiches, but...if they don't have available the flavor ice cream you want in a sandwich...it's worth the time?
Thanks for sharing it with us!
This recipe has actually been pinned numerous times. Just look at the end of the post where you would click to leave a comment and there is a Pinterest Icon. It's as easy as that.
It isn't going to work if the ice cream sandwiches are soft. All they will do is slide around. Not sure why your fudge melted unless it was the brand you bought. You can see by mine in the photo how thick it is and that the bars are frozen. Give it another try. I think I used Hersheys Fudge Topping between the layers. The hersheys syrup was just used as a garnish on top don't use that on the layers.
Its my dads birthday today so I made him a butterfinger/ hot fudge version of this cake!

Also, I decided to make it larger, and used a store bough tin pan. I haven't had a chance to eat it, but i'm sure it will be delicious!

The hardest part is always waiting. It will be worth it, trust me on this one.
