Karen's Unbelievable Dessert
Since Father's Day is this weekend, I have decided to post a recipe that is THE recipe to my husband's heart. He just loves this yummy dessert.
A little background on this dessert...
My good friend Karen, whom I have known for 15+ years, used to make this dessert all the time... especially when Phil and I started dating. Karen would always pull off the best bbq's, complete with all her yummy recipes - including this one. She knew the way to men's hearts were through their stomachs. She was always such an incredible cook and hostess back when our singles group was in full swing. I remember when Phil asked me out for a first date I seriously wondered why he asked me when all I would bring to the bbq were baked beans that I picked up at the grocery store deli, while Karen pulled out the big guns with her cooking.
It has been years since we had this dessert so I decided to try it again for my family's Memorial Day get-together. It was a hit. If you're having a large family gathering, make this... you'll be glad you did!
Enjoy!

This sounds absolutely delicious. I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds YUMMY!!!!!
I sometimes wish that my DH would eat desserts, but he doesn't. So I miss out on yummy dishes like this. On the other hand, it's better to taste them when we're out and about.
Thanks for sharing.

Oh yum. I first tried the coffee ice cream/oreo combo at Cold Stone. They put peanut butter in, too, and it's so good.
Mmm... Yum! That sounds delicious. Chad loves coffee ice cream and I will take anything with chocolate so this is bound to be a hit here. Thanks for the recipe!
Oh good God, Lori! How many points?
Seriously, my husband will absolutely love it!
And since I haven't actually bought him anything yet, I should make this to appease him.
See you soon! mc
Yummo! Now I can try the famous recipe.
Lori ~ I tried this and it is so good! I let Evan pick out the ice cream and he wanted Breyer's Oreo ice cream. It really tasted great. We are still snacking on it.

Just wanted to update you, Lori -- I ended up making this Saturday night. Chad couldn't wait until Sunday, so we each had a piece and LOVED it. Then Chad took it to his parents' house for Sunday dinner and it was completely devoured. Everyone raved about it. So Thank You very much for this recipe. It was definitely a hit!
So much for the old saying "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach." This recipe has gotten me nowhere. I'M STILL SINGLE! But thanks Lori for making me sound so wonderful!
