Have you looked at the ingredients of this recipe? Hot fudge, pudding, ice cream sandwiches, whipped cream, and Oreos.
Does it get much better then that? The hot fudge/pudding/whipped cream mixture helps the ice cream sandwiches to stick together to form a cake. Then it’s covered in more whipped cream and topped with crushed Oreos.
Every time I make this dessert, there is never any leftovers – definitely a crowd pleaser!
How to Make Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
PUDDING MIX. Start by making the fudge pudding mix. Grab a large bowl and whisk together the fudge topping (here is a link to our tasty homemade hot fudge sauce) and 1-2 cups of whipped cream until it’s combined.
Add the dry chocolate pudding mix and stir for a couple minutes. Add one cup of the chopped Oreos, mix, and set it aside.
ICE CREAM SANDWICHES. You’re going to need 12 ice cream sandwiches for this recipe. Start by unwrapping them all and putting 4 of them side by side on a foil-lined baking sheet.
WHIPPED CREAM. Add half the whipped cream pudding mixture on top and repeat the layers. Add the last 4 ice cream sandwiches and cover the cake with the remaining whipped cream.
TOPPING. Don’t forget to add the rest of the chopped cookies on top of the cake or all over the sides too. Freeze the cake for 1 hour. After an hour, lightly wrap the cake with tin foil and keep it in the freezer for an additional 2-3 hours before serving.
Flavor variations + STORING
Another fun thing you can do with this cake is change up the flavors of the ingredients. Try different flavored ice cream sandwiches—like mint ice cream sandwiches!
And you can add different candy, sauce or cookie toppings to the middle or on top of the cake. Possibilities are almost endless with this summer dessert!

these didn’t last long in my house! My girls devoured them.
That is what I love to hear!! Thank you for letting me know 🙂
Do you recommend using homemade whipped cream (from whipping cream) or whipped topping? If homemade, sweetened or unsweetened? Thank you!
Either one works great! I usually have whipped topping from the store on hand, because of time, but of course homemade is always so good. I would have it sweetened 🙂
