    When ready, transfer the ice cream wrapped in plastic to a sheet pan. Now line the 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and place half of the ice cream sandwiches in one layer. You may need to cut sandwiches a bit as they will fit snuggly in the pan. Place the prepared mint ice cream square on top of the sandwiches, then place the remaining ice cream sandwiches on top of everything. Freeze the layered pan for another 1 to 2 hours.

    Use the parchment paper to remove the cake from the baking pan and transfer it to a serving platter. Use a spatula to smooth out the sides of the cake and spread whipped topping on top. You can use the remaining 4 sandwiches to decorate the cake in a way you like!
