Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 12 ice cream sandwiches
  • 2 cups whipped cream

Optional Toppings

  • 1 cup crushed cookies
  • 1/2 cup sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts
  • 1/2 cup fresh berries

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Unwrap the ice cream sandwiches and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow them to soften slightly at room temperature for easier handling.
  • Arrange a layer of ice cream sandwiches in a 9x13 inch pan, making sure they fit snugly together.
  • Spread a layer of whipped cream over the ice cream sandwiches, ensuring even coverage.
  • Drizzle a generous amount of chocolate syrup over the whipped cream layer.
  • Repeat the layering process with another layer of ice cream sandwiches, followed by whipped cream and chocolate syrup.
  • Place the assembled cake bar in the freezer for at least 2 hours to set completely.
  • While the cake bar is freezing, prepare your desired toppings such as crushed cookies, sprinkles, and fresh berries.
  • Before serving, remove the cake bar from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
  • Garnish the cake bar with your chosen toppings and use a serrated knife to cut into slices. Serve immediately.

Storage

  • Keep any leftover slices in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
