Description

This Easy Strawberry Ice Cream Cake is a delightful no-bake dessert perfect for warm days and special occasions. Layers of strawberry cheesecake ice cream sandwiches, creamy whipped topping, and sweet strawberry sundae topping come together in a luscious frozen treat. Garnished with fresh strawberries, this cake is both visually stunning and irresistibly delicious, making it a crowd-pleaser that requires minimal preparation.

Ingredients

Ice Cream Sandwich Layer

  • 24 strawberry cheesecake ice cream sandwiches (unwrapped)

Toppings and Garnish

  • 1 large (16 oz) container of whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 jar strawberry ice cream sundae topping (about 16 oz)
  • Fresh strawberries for garnish (washed, dried, and sliced; use as many as desired)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ice Cream Sandwich Base: In a 9×13-inch pan or casserole dish with at least 4-inch high sides, place 12 of the ice cream sandwiches in a single layer. You may need to cut one or two to fit the pan properly.
  2. Apply Whipped Topping: Spread about half of the thawed whipped topping evenly over the ice cream sandwich layer using an offset spatula, bowl scraper, or the back of a wooden spoon.
  3. Add Strawberry Sundae Topping: Pour the strawberry ice cream sundae topping over the whipped topping layer and spread it out evenly. Some mixing with the whipped topping is fine and adds texture.
  4. Layer Second Ice Cream Sandwiches: Gently add the remaining 12 ice cream sandwiches over the strawberry sundae topping layer, pressing down lightly to ensure even layering. Cut sandwiches as needed to fit the pan.
  5. Top with Remaining Whipped Topping: Dollop and spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the second ice cream sandwich layer.
  6. Freeze the Cake: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 3 hours or until the cake is firm and set.
  7. Garnish with Fresh Strawberries: Just before serving, garnish the cake with sliced fresh strawberries. To avoid mushy fruit, keep the fresh strawberries separate during freezing and serve them on the side or on top as desired.
  8. Storage: After cutting portions to serve, wrap leftover cake pieces tightly with plastic wrap and return to the freezer immediately to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • If not serving the entire cake at once, hold back fresh strawberries until serving to prevent them from becoming mushy after freezing.
  • Cut ice cream sandwiches if needed to fit your pan dimensions evenly for best layering.
  • Use an offset spatula for smooth spreading of whipped topping layers.
  • Ensure the cake is tightly covered to prevent freezer burn and odors from affecting the dessert.
