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!

FAQ – Common Recipe Questions

What flavor combinations would be good for an Oreo ice cream sandwich cake?

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

Birthday Oreos pair well with colorful sprinkles, while the Golden variety complements fruit flavors without being overwhelming.
