How To Make An Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
Layer everything together and freeze until firm. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
I wanted to keep this recipe as simple as possible since no one wants extra work (or dishes!) when it’s hot outside. That said, you can create a cookie crust instead of using whole Oreos as the base.
Increase the cookie count to 30 and crush them in a food processor with 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan, then continue with the recipe as directed.
Ingredients Notes and Substitutions
- Use mini sandwiches. I got the Hood brand ones that are 2×2 inches, and they fit in the pan perfectly. You could also use full sized ones and cut them in half if needed.
- Get creative with flavors! Feel free to try this recipe with different varieties of Oreos. You could even stir some flavor extract into the Cool Whip.
Helpful Tips and Tricks
- Thaw the Cool Whip. You’ll need it to be soft to spread over the layers, so transfer it to the refrigerator at least 6 hours before starting this recipe.
- Swap the cookies for candy. Instead of more Oreos on top, try chopped up Reeses or Andes mints. M&Ms or peanuts would be a great way to include some extra crunch to your ice cream sandwich cake.
- Don’t skip the parchment! Not only does it make cleanup easier, but you can lift the entire dessert out of the pan when it’s time to slice.
- Add a little drizzle. You can’t go wrong with chocolate syrup or my no-fail caramel sauce. For a fruity twist, try a homemade strawberry syrup instead!

Mint is the first one that comes to mind, and it would be extra refreshing on a hot day.
