Makeover Peanut Ice Cream Delight
Our Test Kitchen helped Ashley keep the full-fat ice cream in her tasty dessert, while lightening it up at the same time. Cool vanilla ice cream is the perfect match for the chocolate wafer crust and chocolate-caramel topping. You won't believe this is light! Ashley Neumann - Metamora, MI
