Directions

1. Step1

   Line a 9x9-in. baking pan with plastic wrap, extending plastic wrap over all edges of pan. Spread chocolate ice cream in an even layer in prepared baking pan. Smooth top with a straight edge spatula. Freeze for 2 hours or until firm.

2. Step2

   Use edges of plastic wrap to lift chocolate ice cream from pan. Cut ice cream into 2 (9x4½-in.) pieces; set aside.

3. Step3

   Unwrap ice cream sandwiches; return to freezer while assembling cake. To assemble cake, for the base, form an 8½x4¾-in. rectangle on a large serving platter by arranging 5 ice cream sandwiches with cookie sides down and long sides touching each other.

4. Step4

   For vertical cake layers, create an outer ice-cream-sandwich layer or one side of the cake by standing 5 ice cream sandwiches up vertically, next to each other, on top the long edge of the base; slightly press ice cream sandwich edges into the base to adhere and stand up.

5. Step5

   Stand up one piece of chocolate ice cream, next to the ice-cream-sandwich layer; press together to adhere. Repeat adding another vertical layer of ice cream sandwiches and chocolate ice cream layer. End with creating a third layer of ice-cream-sandwiches. Freeze, uncovered, for 1 hour or until firm.

6. Step6

   Spread whipped topping over top and sides of ice cream cake. Top with crumbled cookies; drizzle with dessert sauce. Freeze frosted ice cream cake until firm.

7. Step7

   To serve, let cake stand for 15 minutes. Cut into 8 (1-in.) slices. Cut each slice in half.
