Frosty and impressive, this versatile ice cream cake is pretty enough for company, simple enough for a weeknight treat. Kathy Morrow in Hubbard, Ohio suggests you try food coloring to tint the whipped topping or use different flavors of ice cream, extracts and cookie or candy crumbs to suit different holidays or occasions!

I went to two stores before I found Suzy Q's. (All the ingredients came to just over $10.) My whole family watched as I assembled this dessert. Anticipation was running high! The three hour wait while it froze was very long! Sorry to say we were all disappointed with this dessert. The cream filling in the Suzy Q's became rubbery when frozen. We would have liked more ice cream. I must say it was very pretty when sliced and served. I'm going to try my own remake using layers of brownies and more ice cream.

Thanks J! Here in Canada none of these terms were familiar. Don't have them here. Thinking that perhaps I could substitute with whoopee pies.
