BEST M&M ICE CREAM SANDWICH CAKE RECIPE

When I thought about this recipe for the M&M and cream ice cream sandwich, I immediately thought of my mother. She loves ice cream cake, and simply refuses to believe that there is anyone who could possibly not like ice cream cake.

We all know that can't be true, but after tasting this ice cream cake I began to wonder the same thing. Every little bite of this scrumptious cake is absolutely delicious. With only five ingredients this no-bake ice cream cake just screams to be made, and with summer just around the corner, there couldn't be a better time. Enjoy!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BEST ICE CREAM SANDWICH CAKE RECIPE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ingredients

½ cup fudge (or chocolate) ice cream topping (in a bottle) {Note: not the kind that hardens}
1 tub (8 oz.) Cool Whip (for topping)
1 pkg. (3.9 oz.) JELL-O Chocolate Instant Pudding
12 vanilla ice cream sandwiches
1 cup M&M's (preferably M&M Minis) (or other tiny chocolate candies)

Directions

( Important: To Prevent Early Melting --- Everything must be done pretty quickly, but the taste is worth it. Do step 1, before taking ice cream sandwiches out of freezer, so the ice cream sandwiches won't start melting. )

1. Combine some fudge (or chocolate) ice cream topping and 1 cup cool whip in bowl until blended (use a hand mixer or a blender). Add dry pudding mix; stir for 1 minute or until mixture is slightly thick and creamy.
2. Arrange 4 ice cream sandwiches together, side by side, in rectangular ceramic baking dish (to hold cake shape together and prevent any melt collapse).
3. Cover with half the prepared cool whip mixture.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 for second layer.
5. Top with remaining sandwiches, and frost top of cake with remaining cool whip.
6. Garnish with the M&M Minis, or other chocolate candies.
7. Drizzle some fudge (or chocolate) ice cream topping over the entire ice cream cake.
8. Freeze until firm.

Note: Unwrap all ice cream sandwiches before assembling cake. Assemble cake quickly, using a rectangular ceramic baking dish (just big enough to fit 4 ice cream sandwiches across the bottom side by side... to hold cake shape together and prevent any melt collapse).
