How to Make Ice Cream Sandwich Birthday Cake

  1. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
  2. Arrange ice cream sandwiches in a single layer in the prepared pan, breaking them as needed to fill the space.
  3. In a medium bowl, prepare the pudding mix according to package directions using 2 cups of milk.
  4. Add the thawed frozen whipped topping to the pudding mixture and beat with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Evenly spread the pudding mixture over the layer of ice cream sandwiches.
  6. Crush the Oreo cookies (or your chosen cookies) in a gallon-sized freezer bag using a rolling pin, leaving some larger chunks. Alternatively, pulse in a food processor.
  7. Sprinkle approximately ¾ of the crushed cookies over the pudding layer.
  8. Spread the remaining thawed frozen whipped topping evenly over the cookie layer.
  9. Top with the reserved crushed cookies.
  10. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
