Have several copies of this recipe handy if you serve this to company or bring it to a pot-luck... People are going to want this recipe! This is my very favorite dessert of all-time! It's easy to make, decadent, and can be made using sugar-free or fat free ingredients and it tastes just as good... It tastes just like the "Drumstick" ice cream treats we enjoyed as kids!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

I brought this dish to Easter dinner and it was a hit with all... including my 91 year old father; he loves his sweets. Everyone agreed this is a creamy, rich dessert that reminds you of being a kid and eating drumstick ice cream cones!
