Ingredients

Instructions

  • Layer 12 ice cream sandwiches across the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Heat the hot fudge in the microwave until it becomes pourable. Spread it evenly over the ice cream sandwiches with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle half of the crushed candy canes over the hot fudge to create an even layer.
  • Spread one container of whipped topping over the candy cane layer, covering it completely.
  • Repeat the layers: add another layer of ice cream sandwiches, hot fudge, crushed candy canes, and whipped topping.
  • Decorate the top layer of whipped topping with the remaining crushed candy canes.
  • Freeze the dessert uncovered for 30 minutes, then cover with foil and freeze for an additional 2 ½ hours.
  • Remove the dessert from the freezer 10 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly for easy cutting.
  • Cut the dessert into 12 pieces. If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream to each slice, then place a mini candy cane on top of each dollop or directly on the slice.
