I had trouble with my chocolate layer firming up, it took closer to 1 hour instead of the 20 minutes stated in the recipe. In the meantime my ice cream was softening and softening and softening. I finally just spooned it over the slightly solid chocolate layer and froze for 7-8 hours. It was good but not quite like an ice cream cake for me.

I have this same recipe, just in pie form, and the vanilla wafers are whole. This is one of my all time favorite frozen desserts !
