Ingredients

  • 10 3 .5-ounce rectangular vanilla ice cream sandwiches
  • 1 pint strawberry ice cream, slightly softened
  • 1 pint mint chip or pistachio ice cream, slightly softened
  • 1/2 cup finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies (about 12 cookies)
  • Chocolate shell topping, for spreading

Method

  • Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with heavy-duty foil, leaving an overhang on all sides.
  • Arrange 5 ice cream sandwiches snugly in the bottom of the pan.
  • Spread the strawberry ice cream on top in an even layer.
  • Press the remaining 5 ice cream sandwiches on top, then spread the mint chip ice cream evenly over the sandwiches.
  • Top with an even layer of crushed cookies, pressing gently.
  • Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze until set, about 4 hours.
  • Uncover, then lift the foil to remove the cake from the pan.
  • Invert onto a platter, remove the foil and spread with the chocolate shell topping.
  • Serve immediately or cover and freeze for up to 2 days.
