Not Fried Ice Cream Cake

I've been seeing a recipe for not-fried ice cream cake on Facebook and Pinterest. I've had several failed recipes from Pinterest, so I wasn't sure about this at first and almost scrolled on past.  But after reading through the recipe and comments, I decided to try it out for Father's Day. Oh.My.Gosh... I am so glad I did. It tastes just like the real thing!! I'd think I was at Chi Chi's if I ate it with my eyes closed. (Who else misses Chi Chi's like we do?!)  The family loved it so much it was requested again for our 4th of July cookout.
