I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream… Sandwich Cake? Heck ya we do! This spectacular, dessert is deceptively easy-to make, vegan, allergy-friendly & lip smackingly delicious.
Doesn’t this Ice Cream Sandwich Cake just look like it’s ready for a party? Now all we need, are a few guests and a handful of sprinkles. Are you in?
When I heard about So Delicious’ newest recipe challenge, using their frozen products, I just knew that I had to be a part of this! Creating allergy-safe recipes is one of my absolute favorite things to do, especially when it’s using products I already love. Game on…. challenge accepted……time to start creating.
I actually had a recipe in mind that I wanted to try after making the Brookie Ice Cream Cake but it wasn’t until I created the homemade caramel sauce that it all came together. SO, without further adieu, let me now introduce you to our show-stopping, party-starting, Ice Cream Sandwich Cake! I know you will be good friends instantly.
How do I know you’ll love this Ice Cream Sandwich Cake? Well, because everyone who has had a slice, devoured loved it, including myself. I would have eaten the whole thing myself if it wasn’t swimsuit season 😉. You’ll also love that you don’t have to bake anything, that you only need a few key ingredients and that is only takes a few steps to make. What’s not to love?
5 Simple Ingredients:
- So Delicious Coconut Ice Cream Sandwiches (These do contain Gluten so omit or replace with their Dipped Vanilla Bars)
- Cookie Dough Ice Cream ( So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Milk Based)
- CocoWhip (regular or light version)
- Chocolate Ganache ( click here for the recipe, or use a “safe” store bought version)
- Caramel Sauce (homemade recipe here or use a “safe” store bought version)
3 Easy Steps in this Ice Cream Sandwich Cake:
- Create your ice cream sandwich “wall” by placing again the sides of your prepared cheesecake pan.
- Press down your first layer of ice cream to make your base then drizzle with chocolate sauce & caramel (this step if optional BUT amps up the YUM factor).
- Layer with cocowhip then top with another layer of ice cream.
What Flavor to Choose?
Although I used cookie dough for this Ice Cream Sandwich Cake, you can layer any flavor of ice cream to make this unique to you.
- Try Mint Chip if you love a minty fresh treat.
- If you are a coffee lover like I am, there is Mocha Almond Fudge but this DOES contain almonds.
- Their fruit flavors like Oregon Mixed Berry or Strawberry would be a refreshing layer, mixed in with bites of frozen whip & cookie sandwich pieces.
- Or go crazy and mix together different ice cream flavors.

You’re sweet Alisa. The Brookie cake started it for sure but when my son was begging for ice cream sandwiches, this just HAD to happen.

Absolutely! I may have a slice or two left (at least for the next hour or so).
