- Second Layer of Ice Cream Sandwiches:
- Add another layer of ice cream sandwiches on top of the cream cheese mixture, using the same pattern as the first layer.
- Top with Remaining Cool Whip:
- Spread the remaining tub of Cool Whip evenly over the top layer of ice cream sandwiches.
- Freeze the Cake:
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
