Preparation

  • Unwrap and place 12 ice cream sandwiches in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread half of the whipped topping over the ice cream sandwiches, smoothing it with an offset spatula.
  • Add another layer of ice cream sandwiches on top of the whipped topping.
  • Cover the second layer of sandwiches with the remaining whipped topping, ensuring it's spread evenly.
  • Drizzle chocolate sauce over the top layer, followed by caramel sauce if using.
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts, crushed cookies, and fresh berries on top for added texture and flavor.
  • Place the cake in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until firm. This will help the layers set properly.
