FAQ's

What kind of dessert can I make with ice cream sandwiches?

If you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, then an ice cream sandwich cake is the way to go! This Cool Whip Ice Cream Sandwich Cake is always a hit with kids and adults alike.

How do you keep ice cream sandwiches from melting?

To prevent the ice cream sandwiches from melting be sure to work quickly and get them back into the freezer as soon as possible.

How do you transport ice cream cake without melting it?

If you need to transport this cake, place it in a cooler with ice packs on the sides and bottom. This will help keep it from melting while you travel. If you are using regular bagged ice instead of ice packs, add some rock salt to the ice.

How long will an ice cream cake last in a cooler?

If you are using ice packs, the cake will last up to 2 hours in a cooler. If you are using regular ice, it will last about an hour. If you are using dry ice to keep it cold, then it can last up to 24 hours in a cooler.

Things to know

  • Be sure to work quickly when assembling the cake so the ice cream sandwiches don't melt.
  • If you need to transport the cake, place it in a cooler with ice.
  • For easy removal of the ice cream cake, you can line the bottom of your baking dish with parchment paper. And, then you can remove the entire cake from the pan.
  • Don't have a casserole dish on hand? You can use a loaf pan and split the recipe in half.

Variations

  • You can use different flavors of ice cream-filled ice cream sandwiches. Such, as chocolate, Oreo, strawberry, mint or Neapolitan ice cream sandwiches, yum!
  • Use birthday cake-flavored ice cream sandwiches if you want a birthday cake-flavored ice cream cake.
  • Instead of using chocolate syrup, you can use caramel syrup, hot fudge sauce, or even a magic shell on top of the cake.
  • I prefer to use mini chocolate chips, or mini m&m's to top the cake. However, you can use any type of candy bars or candy that your family enjoys.

Storage

Freezer -  store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

Refreeze - once the cake has been thawed, it cannot be refrozen.
