I will never forget nights here in Buffalo at the Evans house. My friend Steph is the queen of desserts. She somehow manages to find all these delicious dessert recipes and invite us over for nightly talking. I love that she just invites us over too. It's not to play a game, just to have dessert and talk! That is my kind of get together. I will miss Steph (and her desserts) Thank you for this recipe. It is one of my favs. I have a thing for ice cream cake and Oreos.
