A family favorite that is great for entertaining any time of the year. Very simple and elegant to make ahead. Simply delicious! Cut into squares and top with warm chocolate or caramel sauce. For holidays, you may add crushed candy canes on top of the warm sauce -- and try butter pecan or peppermint ice cream instead of vanilla!

CRUNCHY FREEZE

My mom used to make this a lot when I was growing up. And we would drizzle fresh maple syrup over the top of each serving. I always liked eating the ice cream and saving the crunchy part for last. Actually, I still do that! Since it's such a steamy hot summer, this is a good recipe to make up to cool you down! Eating this always takes me back to my youth. Gosh, that seems forever ago.
