Print Recipe

A no-bake, festive dessert perfect for summer parties, featuring layers of ice cream sandwiches, fresh strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ice cream sandwiches (classic chocolate wafer recommended)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill mixing bowl and beaters in freezer for 10 minutes.
  2. Pour cold heavy whipping cream into chilled bowl and whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then whip until stiff peaks form. Avoid overwhipping.
  4. Rinse strawberries and blueberries under cold water. Hull and slice strawberries thinly. Pat all berries dry with paper towels.
  5. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, place a single layer of ice cream sandwiches side by side, trimming one sandwich if needed to fit.
  6. Spread about one-third of the whipped cream evenly over the sandwiches.
  7. Sprinkle half of the sliced strawberries and blueberries over the whipped cream layer.
  8. Add a second layer of ice cream sandwiches, followed by another third of whipped cream.
  9. Top with the remaining berries.
  10. Finish with the last layer of ice cream sandwiches and spread the remaining whipped cream evenly on top.
  11. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the ice cream sandwiches to soften and flavors to meld.
  12. Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  13. Cut into squares using a warm, sharp knife for clean slices.

Notes

Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream to achieve fluffy peaks. Let ice cream sandwiches sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes if very hard before assembling. Use a warm, sharp knife for clean slices. Trimming sandwiches to fit the dish improves presentation and stability. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator up to 3 days; avoid freezing assembled cake.
