Ingredient Notes

• Ice Cream Sandwiches: The base and top layer of the cake. Use your favorite brand of vanilla ice cream sandwiches.
• Cream Cheese: Adds a tangy richness to the filling. Make sure it's softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
• Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the filling and helps stabilize the whipped topping.
• Whipped Topping: This keeps that Reese’s filling light and fluffy. Be sure to thaw it before you start!
• Chocolate Sauce: Adds a rich chocolate flavor to the filling.
• Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter gives the filling that classic Reese's flavor.
• Reese's Minis: Chopped and folded into the filling for extra peanut butter and chocolate goodness.
• Reese's Cups and Reese’s Pieces: Used to garnish the top of the cake for a fun, colorful presentation.

How To Make Reese’s Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Start by unwrapping your ice cream sandwiches. Don't let them sit out too long and get too melty!

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and lump-free. This will take a minute or two of mixing.

Gently fold in one tub of the thawed whipped topping, the chocolate sauce, and the peanut butter. Keep folding until everything is well combined and the mixture is a light brown color.

Finally, fold in the chopped Reese's Minis, making sure they're evenly distributed throughout the filling.

Now it's time to assemble the cake! Arrange a layer of ice cream sandwiches in the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish, cutting some in half if needed to cover the whole bottom.

Spread the Reese's filling evenly over the ice cream sandwiches, making sure to get it all the way to the edges.

Add another layer of ice cream sandwiches on top, pressing them gently into the filling.

Spread the remaining tub of whipped topping over the top layer of ice cream sandwiches, creating a smooth, fluffy top layer.

Pop the whole cake in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or overnight if you have the time. This allows everything to firm up and the flavors to meld together.

When you're ready to serve, garnish the top of the cake with drizzles of chocolate sauce, halved or chopped Reese's cups, and whole and crushed Reese's Pieces. Cut your Reese’s Ice Cream Sandwich Cake into squares and serve immediately.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Freezing

Make Ahead: This cake is designed to be stored in the freezer, which makes it a great make-ahead dessert. Once assembled, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 10-14 days.

When you're ready to serve, let the cake sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before cutting and serving.

Store: If you have any leftovers (unlikely!), wrap them tightly and store them back in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Recipe Tips

• Work quickly when assembling the cake to keep the ice cream sandwiches from melting too much.
• Be sure to use a 9x13 baking dish for this recipe. Your cake should fill right up to the brim of the dish.
• Use a long, sharp knife dipped in hot water to get clean slices when cutting the cake.
• Let the cake sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to make it easier to slice and eat.
