A friend shared this recipe, which has become an all-time favorite of mine. It's so versatile-I've substituted different cookies (macaroons or chocolate chip) ice cream and chips with delicious results. -Kathy Kittell, Lenexa, Kansas (Reader used crisp Italian macaroons instead of shortbread cookies.)

This cake was a disappointment. The cherry ice cream was icy and the chocolate cake was dry.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good dessert. I would recommend using a less sweet cherry ice cream.

I'm not a big fan of ice cream cake, but this one is an exception. The cherry ice cream is perfectly balanced by the chocolate cake.
