This is an interesting recipe I picked up about 10 years ago -- Although the source is totally forgotten, the taste of the sundae hasn't been! Preparation time INCLUDES NEITHER the time needed for the crust to freeze [about 30 minutes], the time for the ice cream to soften [about 15 minutes], the time for the sauce to cool [about 3 minutes], NOR the 12 hours for the pie to freeze overnight!
