Description

This Easy M&M Ice Cream Sandwich Cake is a delightful no-bake dessert perfect for warm days or celebrations. Layers of ice cream sandwiches are combined with soft vanilla ice cream and colorful M&M candies, topped with whipped cream and optional chocolate syrup for a fun, creamy, and crunchy treat that’s sure to please both kids and adults.

Ingredients

Scale

Base and Layers

  • 8-10 Ice Cream Sandwiches
  • 1.5 to 2 quarts Vanilla Ice Cream, softened
  • 1 to 1.5 cups M&M Candies

Topping

  • 1 to 2 cups Whipped Cream
  • Chocolate Syrup (optional), for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Soften the Ice Cream: Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature to make spreading easier and ensure smooth layering.
  2. Arrange Base Layer: Place the ice cream sandwiches on a flat surface or serving dish to form the base layer, creating a sturdy foundation for the cake.
  3. Spread Ice Cream Layer: Spoon and gently spread a layer of the softened vanilla ice cream over the ice cream sandwiches evenly, which will help hold the cake together.
  4. Add M&M Candy Layer: Sprinkle a generous amount of M&M candies evenly over the spread ice cream to add colorful crunch and flavor.
  5. Repeat Layers: Place another layer of ice cream sandwiches on top of the M&Ms, then repeat the spreading of ice cream and sprinkling of candies until your cake reaches the desired height, ending with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
  6. Decorate: Spread whipped cream evenly over the top layer, then decorate with additional M&Ms and drizzle chocolate syrup if using, for an attractive, delicious finish.
  7. Chill the Cake: Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours, or until firm enough to slice cleanly. Serve chilled for a refreshing, creamy dessert experience.

Notes

  • Softening the ice cream slightly makes spreading easier and prevents breaking the ice cream sandwiches.
  • The cake can be customized by swapping M&Ms for other candies or adding nuts for additional texture.
  • Ensure the cake is well chilled before slicing to keep neat layers.
  • Leftovers should be kept tightly covered in the freezer to maintain freshness.
