I just made this recipe last weekend, but I substituted homemade brownies (a 9'' x 13" pan full), with a little Kahula in them, for the ladyfingers. I used a 10 inch springform pan and cut the brownies to fit the bottom and lined the sides with about 1/2 inch brownie "sticks". I skipped the chocolate ice cream since the brownies were so "chocolatey" and used coffee in the first and third layers and vanilla in the middle. I also added a little Kahula to the hot fudge topping. The results were incredible and everyone absolutely loved it!

We took ours out about 15 min. before cutting and used a very hot sharp knife to cut it. It was wonderful!

I found the ladyfingers very hard to cut. They shattered. It was very expensive as I live in Canada and our costs are more than in the U.S. Haven't eaten it yet but I wouldn't do it again.

Made this for my husband's birthday & it was great. He doesn't like coffee ice cream, so I just substituted another flavor. After all layers were frozen, I " iced" it with thawed Cool Whip & placed it back in the freezer for about an hour. Such an easy recipe, I'll never buy another pre-made ice cream cake again.

it was a huge hit for Memorial Day. I would probably do one flavor of ice cream next time. you could barely taste the coffee ice cream. I used oreo bits in between each layer and toffee on top. Probably will do with out the toffee next time. the chocolate sundae topping was hard to spread even when i melted it because once it hits the cold ice cream, it starts to solidify. i would suggest 30 mins of freezing between each layer. may find a different chocolate to use next time. and maybe do a graham cracker crust or oreo crust next time. lots of options, so no more carvel ice cream cakes in this house!

Are you suppose to heat the Hot Fudge? I did as it was the only way to get it out of the jar -- it did melt the ice cream - hope it comes out -- will let you know -- looks real nice-

This was amazing. We used gluten free lady fingers and Vern's Toffee (Fort Collins) and it was so good. I am going to make it a little smaller for a work lunch next week.

I used oreo cookie crumbs on top instead of the toffee bits and it was beautiful. I received rave reviews when I served this last night at a dinner party. Very rich and decadent!
