Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Sandwich Layer
- 24 strawberry cheesecake ice cream sandwiches (unwrapped)
Whipped Topping
- 1 16 oz container whipped topping (thawed)
Toppings
- 1 jar strawberry ice cream topping
- Fresh strawberries (sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
- Layer First Ice Cream Sandwiches: In a 9×13-inch pan, arrange 12 of the unwrapped strawberry cheesecake ice cream sandwiches in a single layer to form the base of the cake.
- Spread Half the Whipped Topping: Scoop half of the thawed whipped topping onto the ice cream sandwich layer and spread it evenly to cover all sandwiches.
- Drizzle Strawberry Ice Cream Topping: Pour and evenly drizzle the strawberry ice cream topping over the whipped topping layer for added flavor and sweetness.
- Add Second Layer of Ice Cream Sandwiches: Place the remaining 12 ice cream sandwiches in a single layer on top of the strawberry topping, creating a stacked effect.
- Top with Remaining Whipped Topping: Spoon the rest of the whipped topping onto the second layer of ice cream sandwiches and spread it out evenly to cover the entire surface.
- Freeze the Cake: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 3 hours or until the cake is completely firm and set.
- Garnish with Fresh Strawberries: Once the cake is firm, remove from the freezer and top with slices of fresh strawberries for a burst of freshness and decoration.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the cake into 12 servings while frozen and serve immediately for a cool, creamy dessert.
Notes
- For best results, thaw the whipped topping slightly to make spreading easier but do not let it melt.
- You can substitute the strawberry ice cream sandwiches with any similar fruit-flavored ice cream sandwiches to vary flavors.
- Make sure to freeze the cake for the full time so it holds its shape when sliced.
- Store leftovers in the freezer covered tightly to maintain texture and freshness.
- Adding a layer of crushed graham crackers between layers can add crunch if desired.
