And you guys, it has literally been topping 100 degrees these past couple days in Florida and I am about ready to D-I-E of heat exhaustion. This would be the perfect recipe to cool me down. Otherwise, I might have to just throw some ice packs in my shorts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 6 ice cream sandwiches (3.5 ounces each)
- 2 1.5-ounce candy bars or 1/2 cup chocolate chips, chopped
Directions
1. Line an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with a piece of wax paper or parchment, allowing the paper to hang over both long sides.
2. In a large bowl, beat the cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.
3. In the bottom of the pan, arrange 3 of the sandwiches in a single layer, cutting them to fit as necessary. Spread with half the whipped cream. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches and whipped cream.
4. Sprinkle the top of the cake with the chopped candy bar. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 week.
5. Holding both sides of the paper overhang, lift the cake out of the pan and transfer to a platter. Discard the paper, slice the cake, and serve.

Yum! 4 ingredients?! Nice! Real Simple is about one of my most favorite magazines ever
yeah, that’s absolutely stellar. perhaps it could double as a belated birthday cake AND a source of heat relief. hope you had a good one.
It looks so gourmet! Ice cream sandwiches remind me of growing up, and this would be a nice excuse to buy some.
And, Happy Birthday Stacey!!
Oh my goodness, you must stop
That looks so so so yummy! Like ice cream cake, but better!
Speaking of cake, happy belated b-day
That looks so good but I think I would eat the icecream sandwiches before the cake got made!
Oh Mah Gah is right!!! That cake looks awesome and perfect for the hot summer days we’re having! And the fact that it only takes 4 ingredients is even more inviting!
