This dessert is SOOOOO yummy. I have made it several times now and it is always a hit. Instead of using an 8x11 pan, I use a spring form pan. I let the dessert sit for 10-15 minutes before removing the rim of the pan. It leaves a very impressive looking dessert that company will rave about. If you want it a bit creamier when you serve it, just let it sit a bit longer and let it thaw a bit. As it thaws the flavour will also increase. This recipe is my new "all time favourite"!!!!!

Very easy quick summertime dessert. Made in a springform pan for easy cutting and used lite cool whip, sugar free pudding and half the fat vanilla ice cream. Loved it.

My family loved this, particularly my two young boys. This recipe is so simple to make that my boys actually made this dessert. Very simple to make with great results - Perfect for a hot summer day!

A quick easy and yummy dessert, thank you for posting! I also tried this with vanilla oreos and it was great. 1/3 cup melted butter saturated the cookie crumbs so I think 1/4 cup butter would be enough. Let the dessert sit out for about 10 minutes or so before serving to make cutting easier and for the flavours to come through.
