REFRESHING! I recommend putting the whipped topping on as you serve it. I followed the directions exactly, and when I pulled the dish out of the freezer, the whipped cream had flattened/thinned pitifully. I just cut the squares and put more whipped topping on top! Everyone enjoyed them. Great balance between tart custard, and sweet crust.
