ooh la la








one of the easiest and best dressed ice cream creations in my book


It really does not get any simpler than this

All you need is one square carton of  Neapolitan ice cream.
Cut the carton off the ice cream, and refreeze until ice cream is hard.
Melt a good-quality chocolate, and pour chocolate over the top of the frozen ice cream,
letting it run down the sides.
Quickly pile on any topping you like; I used cubed strawberry ice cream wafers and chocolate bar pieces.
Refreeze until topping is set. 
Slice and enjoy!

Just for today...... Keep it SIMPLE

NOW THIS is an absolutely quick, fun and perfect solution to last minute guests! YES!!! Your book is chock-full of ideas that it will take two summers to get through to them, Koralee!

This can be done with any flavor ice cream, I suppose! I think I have an instant dessert for the coming weekend! Fond wishes to you for a wonderful day, Anita

Ice cream and chocolate are probably my top 2 favorite desserts in the (whole) world. Maybe you should right a sequel called "Everything Goes With Chocolate". :)

The photo is beautiful and all the calories I can expend on a dessert. You make it look fantastic and also sound easy to make.

Yummmmmmmmmm IS THIS! I'mm sitting here eating a chocolate frozen treat with BLUEBERRIES! (I love the combination of chocolate with any kind of berry!)

Thank you my dear friend for coming to my post today! It is a bright and sunny day today, but the morning didn't start out as such; we had thunderstorms but it looks like it will be a fabulous day. Seeing your comment made me smile, and grateful to have you in my life! Be well, take that stand, and tame the WILD thing. Go out in strength! Anita
