It’s incredibly delicious and you can serve it 2 ways! Frozen or refrigerated. Refrigerated is like this Eclair Cake or frozen is like this S’more Ice Cream Cake.
Decision making….Now you just have to choose which one you want to dive into! I’m partial to refrigerated, but on a super hot day, the frozen version would be my pick.
This is such an awesome dessert to serve on any occasion and look how impressive it looks and it is as easy as pie to make, only in this case, as easy as cake!
You can do all kinds of variations with this! Blueberries with cream cheese pudding or bananas with banana pudding. Use chocolate graham crackers or Oreo cookies, or use caramel, chocolate or strawberry syrup! It’s endless and fun to be creative!
