Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 16 servings.
Ingredients: 2 packages (3 ounces each) ladyfingers; 1 cup chocolate-covered English toffee bits or 4 Heath candy bars (1.4 ounces each), crushed, divided; 1/2 gallon coffee ice cream, softened; 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Not only does this make-ahead dessert go over big with company, but it calls for only four ingredients. If you can't find coffee-flavored ice cream, dissolve instant coffee granules in warm water and stir into vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

2 packages (3 ounces each) ladyfingers
1 cup chocolate-covered English toffee bits or 4 Heath candy bars (1.4 ounces each), crushed, divided
1/2 gallon coffee ice cream, softened
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions

Place ladyfingers around the edge of a 9-in. springform pan. Line the bottom of the pan with remaining ladyfingers. Stir 1/2 cup toffee bits into the ice cream; spoon into prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze overnight or until firm. May be frozen for up to 2 months.
Just before serving, remove sides of pan. Garnish with the whipped topping and remaining toffee bits.
