MAKEOVER OLD-FASHIONED ICE CREAM ROLL

Makeover Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Roll image

This dessert is so convenient to make ahead of time and keep in the freezer for company. Cake and ice cream make it the best of two worlds! The original recipe's caramel sauce was high in fat and calories. The makeover version tastes just as great-and makes a nice topping for ice cream, too. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen
