Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Sandwich Layer
- 19 mint ice cream sandwiches
Cool Whip Mixture
- 1 tub (8 ounces) Cool Whip, thawed
- 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
Topping
- 8 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the Cool Whip Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the thawed Cool Whip and chocolate syrup until well combined. Set this mixture aside for layering.
- First Layer of Ice Cream Sandwiches: Line the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with 9 and a half mint ice cream sandwiches, arranging them neatly to cover the surface.
- First Cool Whip Layer: Spread half of the prepared Cool Whip and chocolate syrup mixture evenly over the layer of ice cream sandwiches, creating a smooth surface.
- Second Layer of Ice Cream Sandwiches: Place another 9 and a half ice cream sandwiches on top of the Cool Whip mixture, pressing down gently to pack the layer firmly.
- Second Cool Whip Layer: Spread the remaining Cool Whip mixture evenly over this top layer of ice cream sandwiches.
- Add Oreo Topping: Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the top to add a crunchy texture and extra flavor.
- Freeze to Set: Cover the dish tightly with saran wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 8 hours, allowing the layers to freeze and the cake to set properly.
- Serve: Once fully frozen, cut the cake into slices and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert.
Notes
- Make sure to thaw the Cool Whip before mixing for easier blending.
- You can use chocolate sandwich cookies instead of Oreos if preferred.
- Press gently on the ice cream layers to avoid breaking them apart.
- Keep the cake covered tightly in the freezer to prevent freezer burn.
- For an extra festive touch, drizzle additional chocolate syrup over the top before serving.
