Place one layer of the cake at the bottom of the tin, add the whipped cream mixture and top with another layer of the cake.
Cover the top with the cling wrap and place in the freezer for 4-6 hours.
Remove from the tin, take out the cling wrap and slice with a sharp knife. Drizzle with melted white chocolate. Serve immediately.
Notes
You might need to freeze the ice cream sandwiches longer depending on your freeze capacity.
To get clean edges while slicing the ice cream sandwiches, dip the knife in hot water, wipe it clean and then slice them.
If you are adding the Limoncello into the ice cream filling add it with the cashew nuts and lemon juice.
