Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Holiday Cake

Christmas/New Years· Recipes

Christmas and the holidays are such a special time for my family. The holidays are the only time of the year that we all are able to gather together. So that means making each meal together special and memorable. It’s the dessert course that have always been the highlight to our family gatherings. I have so many memories of my sisters and parents sitting around the dining room table, nibbling on decadent desserts and sipping coffee, talking, giggling, and shedding sweet sentimental tears together. When we brew a pot of Folgers® and sit down to relax and listen to each other’s stories is when the memories are made. I want to share a wonderful Christmas dessert with you today that is delicious, easy, impressive looking and not hard to make! It is my Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Holiday Cake. It looks impressive but has a secret ingredient that makes this jaw-droppingly simple! So put on a pot of coffee and let’s start assembling this amazing holiday dessert!

Folgers Coffee

With 12 distinct roasts, Folgers ® offers a convenient and robust selection that coffee lovers of any variety can enjoy. For this Christmas dessert I’ll be serving 100% Colombian coffee. It’s a rich and full-bodied medium-dark roast coffee that pairs well with chocolate and sweet desserts and is a welcomed brew that I have found very popular even among those who aren’t full-bodied coffee fans. It’s a win-win brew for sure!

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwich Holiday Cake

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Holiday Cake Recipe

This cake can not get any easier and you will look like a food network star! The secret ingredient that makes this cake so simple is ice cream sandwiches! I’ve made this cake with chocolate and vanilla ice cream sandwiches for my kids’ birthdays but for the holidays the mint chocolate chip bars seem fitting. All you need are a few ingredients/items.

  • 2 boxes of mint ice cream sandwiches (you will use 15)
  • 1 jar of Smucker’s hot fudge topping
  • 1 container of whipped topping
  • creme de menthe candies and fresh mint leaves for garnish

Step 1: Line a large bread loaf pan with 2 strips of plastic wrap, leaving a long amount draping over each side. Put the loaf pan in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Step 2: While the pan is in the freezer, unwrap 5 mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches.

Step 3: Take the pan out of the freezer and press the 5 ice cream sandwiches into the bottom of the pan. Don’t worry if they don’t fit perfectly. They will squish into place. Feel free to trim them as needed… and snack along the way. I won’t tell.

Step 4: Spread a layer of room temperature Smucker’s hot fudge topping over the first layer. Immediately pop the pan back in the freezer for a 5 minutes.

Step 5: Repeat the process with another layer of sandwiches and fudge.

Step 6: Add the final layer of sandwiches to the top but this time do NOT top it with the fudge topping.

Step 8: Remove from freezer and lift cake out of pan by the plastic wrap. Turn upside down onto a serving platter and remove plastic wrap. Immediately frost the cake with a layer of the hot fudge topping. This does not have to look pretty, you just want a nice thick layer sealing in the ice cream on all sides. Place back into the freezer for 5+ minutes. ice cream sandwich cake

Step 9: Frost the cake with a fluffy layer of whipped topping and garnish with chopped creme de menthe chocolates and fresh mint leaves. Either serve immediately or pop back into the freezer (minus the mint leaves) until ready to slice and serve.
