  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 servings

Ingredients

Base Layers

  • Ice Cream Sandwiches – quantity as needed to cover the baking dish base

Creamy Layers

  • Vanilla Ice Cream – softened, about 2 cups
  • Whipped Topping – about 2 cups

Toppings

  • M&Ms – 1 cup, for sprinkling
  • Chocolate Syrup – 1/4 cup, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line a rectangular or square baking dish with parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent sticking and make removal easy, ensuring clean layers and effortless serving.
  2. Arrange the First Layer of Ice Cream Sandwiches: Place ice cream sandwiches side by side to evenly cover the base of your dish, creating a solid foundation.
  3. Spread Vanilla Ice Cream Evenly: Soften the vanilla ice cream slightly and spread a generous, even layer over the ice cream sandwiches using a spatula for smoothness between chewy layers.
  4. Add a Whipped Topping Layer: Gently spread the whipped topping over the ice cream layer, smoothing it out for fluffy texture and balance.
  5. Sprinkle M&Ms and Drizzle Chocolate Syrup: Evenly scatter M&Ms over the whipped topping, then lightly drizzle chocolate syrup for enhanced flavor and visual appeal.
  6. Repeat Layers and Freeze: Repeat the layering process at least one more time, finishing with whipped topping and M&M decoration. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once fully frozen, carefully lift the cake from the pan using the parchment paper, slice with a warmed knife, and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use slightly softened ice cream to spread easier and achieve smoother layers.
  • Work quickly during assembly to prevent melting and return the cake to the freezer promptly.
  • Warm your knife under hot water before slicing for clean, neat pieces.
  • Choose quality ice cream sandwiches for better texture and flavor.
  • Customize toppings or add extras like sprinkles for a personal touch.
