It really does have a drumstick flavor! As karen in tbay suggested, I added a layer of softened vanilla icecream (about 1 pint) between the 2nd & third layer. Mmmmmmmm! I also used crushed chocolate chip cookies for the crust since I didn't have vanilla wafers. I stored it in the freezer & it turned out fabulous! I will be making this again; it will be a great Summer treat!

New Favorite! Made this dessert back in August (but forgot to write a review) for my daughter's birthday party, also bought my family's favorite whip cream cake from the Jewel Store that they insist on having at every family birthday party. Everyone ate the drumstick dessert and because it is so delicious & very rich no one wanted the whip cream cake. Drumstick dessert is now our new "birthday cake" and for a lot less $$, I am making two today, because my 13 year old nephew called and requested it for his party. LOVED IT!!!

I made this for a family cookout recently. BIG hit. They loved it. Definately worth making again.

The birthday girl loved her cake this year. May try it again with a layer of ice cream to mimick the real drumstick treat.
