Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

This recipe is one that comes from my grandma’s cookbook that she gives each grandchild when they graduate high school.  I have had mine for quite a few years now and am slowly picking out my favorites.  This happens to be one of them.  Every time I have made this for a party or an event with a lot of people, everyone always asks for this recipe.  It looks and tastes like you put in a lot of work, but believe me when I tell you it whips up SO quick!It only has 3 ingredients with an optional 4th ingredient!  It doesn’t get easier than that!

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake from chef-in-training.com …this dessert is so easy to throw together and always gets rave reviews!

    Could you substitute the caramel for something else? My kids don't like caramel!!

  12. Cookie

    I've made this for many years. I add pineapple ice cream topping and sometimes the strawberry topping and drizzle the caramel and chocolate syrup on top, then add nuts too. Sliced bananas added in between would make it just like a 'banana split'! Sooo yummy!!

    What is butterscotch caramel ice cream topping? Is it ice cream or is it the butterscotch or something? I'm from Canada so maybe I'm missing something...
