Mint-Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich Cake image

Nothing beats the flavors of rich chocolate, refreshing peppermint, and luscious vanilla ice cream on a hot day. This pretty ice box cake comes together easily, thanks to prepared ice cream sandwiches and chocolate sauce, which also give it a stunning, retro look.

Yield Serves 12-14

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup prepared chocolate syrup
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
16 (4-ounce) ice cream sandwiches, divided
1 cup finely chopped mint-and-fudge cookies, such as Keebler Grasshopper cookies (about 10 cookies), divided

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat cream in a large bowl until medium-stiff peaks form. Gently fold in chocolate syrup and peppermint extract. Transfer half of the cream mixture to a medium bowl; cover and chill until ready to use.
  • Spread a thin layer of remaining cream mixture on bottom of a platter. Top with 4 ice cream sandwiches, placing 3 side by side and 1 along bottom of row for a square-shaped base, or 4 side by side for a rectangular-shaped base. Top with a thin layer of cream mixture and sprinkle with 1/4 cup cookies. Continue layering sandwiches, cream, and cookies, ending with a layer of cream, until all sandwiches are used (you should have 4 layers; reserve remaining 1/4 cup cookies). Wipe any excess cream off platter, then freeze until set, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Using a spatula, frost top and sides of cake with reserved cream mixture. Sprinkle reserved 1/4 cup cookies over cake. Freeze again 30 minutes, then slice and serve.
  • Do Ahead
  • Fully assembled cake can be made 1 day ahead; keep frozen.

The cake was a little too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred a less dense cake.

The cake was a little too icy for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use a softer ice cream.

I had some trouble getting the cake to set properly. I think I might have used too much ice cream.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a less sweet ice cream if you're not a fan of overly sweet desserts.

I'm not a huge fan of mint chocolate, but I really enjoyed this cake. The mint flavor is subtle and it pairs perfectly with the chocolate.
