So easy and very different. Kind of like an ice cream cake. I absolutely loved it and will definitely make again.

Absolutely 5+ stars! This is a quick, refreshing and just-right dessert for a heavier meal. With permission, I took the liberty to change it up a bit and used light vanilla bean ice cream and skipped the coconut on top. Before serving, I drizzled each slice with smooshed sweetened strawberries. Be creative and use strawberry and/or chocolate ice cream flavors for a neopolitan treat! Next time, I'll use all chocolate and even chocolate Cool Whip with mini-chips on top! Thanks for another winner HL!
