Ice Cream Cake

Ingredients 12 ice cream sandwiches, unwrapped (we've had good luck with the mint flavor and neopolitan!) 1 large tub Cool Whip your preferred chocolate, caramel, or fudge dessert topping sprinkles or other decorations, as desired Directions On a serving plate, place a dollop of Cool Whip and spread in a line about 5" wide. This will help 'glue' your first sandwiches in place. You may want to place parchment or waxed paper on the outer edges of the plate which can be slid out from under your cake after decorating is complete. Place three ice cream sandwiches side by side on the plate. Spread a layer of cool whip on the top of the sandwiches. Lay another three sandwiches in the operate direction (Jenga-style). Repeat until all sandwiches are used; you should have a square 'cake'.  Cover sides and top of the cake with Cool Whip. Drizzle with dessert topping and sprinkle with other decorations.  Keep in freezer until ready to serve.
