If you liked then you will LOVE this vegan ice cream sandwich cake where I use the magic of rich coconut milk and my favorite dairy-free ice cream sandwiches, So Delicious Minis.

I admit to not creating this cool concept, but I’ve added my own dairy-free spin for a vegan ice cream sandwich cake that nearly everyone can enjoy, in honor of our big Spring Fling Dairy-Free Recipe Contest (with $1000 grand prize!). And despite the amount of chilling time required, it is very easy to make!

The dairy-free ice cream sandwiches are used to create three (or two for a shorter cake) cake layers, glued together by sweet whipped coconut milk chocolate cream, and frosted all over with a vanilla whipped coconut cream. The array of colors in the layers is from the Banana Split dairy-free ice cream sandwiches that I used with segments of banana, strawberry and chocolate vegan ice cream.

For the garnish on our vegan ice cream sandwich cake, I used chocolate sandwich cookies. It just made sense to go with the chocolate and vanilla sandwich theme, and they freeze well, while not becoming too solid to bite into. Note that fruit is pretty, but can be finicky as garnish for a vegan ice cream sandwich cake. It will freeze into little popsicles, and using it as a post-freezer garnish isn’t easy, since the frosting on the cake becomes quite firm once frozen. But sprinkles, chocolate, and other fun cake toppers should work great!
