MARSHMALLOW DATE NUT ROLL

A frozen dessert rich nutty and filled with dates and marachino cherries.My bestfriend and I would whip this up for our boyfriends some 30 years ago. The Whipped cream at serving time is a nice festive touch, but the boys just would slice off a piece and gobble it down with a glass of milk.
