I have made this recipe several times and it is always a hit.. perfect for chsritmas & St. Patrick’s Day! It is delicious as it is, but is easy to change up the flavors of ice cream and the garnishes depending on the occasion.. Mint ice cream and colorful sprinkles make this cool concoction perfect for holiday parties or meals. For a chocolaty dessert, use rocky road or chocolate ice cream instead.
