FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What flavor of ice cream is best?

For this particular variation, I used strawberry but you can really use any flavors that you like, vanilla, chocolate, cookie dough, cookies and cream, rocky road, Cherry Garcia, etc.

Can I use another flavor of ice cream sandwiches?

You can use any flavor that you’d like, just make sure that it compliments the ice cream you are using: mint ice cream sandwiches with mint chocolate chip ice cream is a personal favorite.

Can this recipe be cut in half?

Yes, if you want a smaller portion you can make this in a 9×9-inch baking pan.

How long does this need to set up?

This will need to be frozen for at least 2 hours to get everything solid but you could certainly serve it before that if you are in a rush. It will just be a little softer.

What other toppings do you suggest?

This would be great with chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, cookie chunks, etc. Just think what you love to eat on ice cream and chances are, it will work on this too!

How do I store leftovers?

To store, cover with plastic wrap and then foil and it will keep in the freezer for up to 1 week.

HOW TO MAKE AN ICE CREAM SANDWICH CAKE:

Line the bottom of a 9×13 baking pan with dish 12 ice cream sandwiches. You will have to cut some in half to make all of them fit. Press down firmly but gently. All of your sandwiches should be touching.

Start adding dollops of ice cream on top of the first layer of ice cream sandwiches. From there, spread out evenly (this works best when the ice cream is soft, semi-melted).
