This Ice Cream Sandwich Cake Recipe is terrific for Memorial Day Desserts, Father's Day, 4th of July, or any summer picnic or party. Kids can make this ice cream sandwich cake all by themselves. I like to use a combination of regular and strawberry ice cream sandwiches for this easy, no-cook ice cream sandwich cake.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

* 20 ice cream sandwiches (regular, strawberry or neopolitan)
* 1 12 oz. jar hot fudge sauce
* 1 8 oz. container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
* red, white and blue sprinkles

Preparation

1. Cut one ice cream sandwich in half. Place one whole ice cream sandwich and one half of an ice cream sandwich side by side across the short end of a 9 x 13 pan.

2. Next to those ice cream sandwiches, arrange 8 more ice cream sandwiches lengthwise, to cover the bottom of the pan.

3. Place Hot Fudge Sauce in a microwave-safe container. Heat on high for 30 seconds. Spread half of the sauce over the ice cream sandwiches.

4. Top with half of the whipped topping.

5. Repeat layers: ice cream sandwiches, hot fudge sauce and whipped topping. Scatter sprinkles over top.

6. Freeze, uncovered 2 hours. Cover with foil and freeze another hour.

Makes 24-36 servings.

This Ice Cream Pie is one of my favorite summertime desserts, because everybody loves it, and it's so easy to make. Although my recipe for ice cream pie calls for homemade chocolate sauce, you can certainly use store-bought chocolate sauce in a pinch.

Prep Time: 4 hours, 5 minutes
Total Time: 4 hours, 5 minutes

Ingredients

* 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
* 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
* 3/4 cup crushed peanuts
* 3/4 cup miniature chocolate chips
* Chocolate Sauce:
* 1 8 oz. semisweet chocolate bar, chopped
* 1 Tbsp. butter
* 1/3 cup heavy cream

Preparation

1. Spread softened ice cream into graham cracker pie crust. Smooth the top of the ice cream. Sprinkle crushed peanuts and chocolate chips over ice cream. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

2. Make the chocolate sauce: Place chopped chocolate and butter in a glass bowl. Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat just until scalded (bubbles will form around the edge). Immediately pour cream over chopped chocolate. Stir until melted.

3. Cut pieces of pie. Spoon hot chocolate sauce over pie.

Makes 8 servings of ice cream pie.

This Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe is made without eggs, so it's quick and easy. If fresh strawberries are in season, I recommend using those. If not, frozen strawberries work just as well for this homemade strawberry ice cream.

You will need an ice cream maker to make this Strawberry Ice Cream.

Ingredients

* 16 oz. frozen strawberries (or 2 cups fresh strawberries, washed and hulled)

* 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
* 2 cups half and half or heavy cream
* 1-1/2 cups whole milk

Preparation

1. Place strawberries, sugar and balsamic vinegar in the work bowl of a food processor, fitted with a metal blade. Puree, leaving some chunks of strawberry.

2. Pour strawberry mixture and remaining ingredients into an ice cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
