I cheated on this recipe more than I should admit. I used a box of Neapolitan Ice Cream and divided the layers with a sharp knife. It worked just as well. I followed the instructions for spreading the chocolate hazel nut spread on each layer (I used "JIF" Chocolate Hazelnut Spread... it's yummier than Nutella) and freezing between applications. What a great way to dress up plain ol' ice cream. We really enjoyed this and it was so simple to make. Thanks for posting this recipe. Made for Cook-a-thon for Zurie's DH. God bless :)
