This was delicious! The flavor combinations were spot on! The crust was a little harder to get out/cut through but well worth it :) -
I can't remember where I found this recipe, but it was obviously not in the same local paper, even though we are (somewhat) close neighbours (lol)!! I love desserts that I can make up ahead of time and freeze. This ice cream pie is decadent... and if you are really organized, have it made up ahead of time and ready for those "drop in guests". Kids, big and small, love this easy treat! Yummers!!!
