How to make Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

My cake was made in a 9X13 baking dish. Make sure that your baking dish is clean and dry. Also, remove the wrap from each of the ice cream sandwiches.
Step Two: assemble the cake.
- Start by making base layer by placing the first layer of ice cream sandwiches on the bottom of the dish.
- On top of the bottom layer of ice cream sandwiches, use a rubber spatula or cake spreader to evenly spread a cup (half of a regular sized tub of whipped topping) over the sandwiches.
- Next, evenly spread a layer of the fudge topping on top of the whipped topping. Then pour a light layer of the caramel topping over the fudge.
- Top the cake with the remaining sandwiches and repeat the layers from the two steps.
- Sprinkle the remaining ingredients (toffee, chocolate chips, and sprinkles) over the top layer of the cake.
Expert Tip 👉 You may need to cut one or two ice cream sandwiches to side to make the layers. As long as the layer is all ice cream sandwich, you should be okay when you go to slice the dessert for serving.
Step Three: finish making the cake.
Cover the cake well using aluminum foil. The freeze for at least two hours or preferably overnight to set. When you are ready to serve the cake, simply slice the cake and enjoy.
