Blue Ribbon Recipe by

Have several copies of this recipe handy if you serve this to company or bring it to a potluck. People are going to want this recipe! This is my very favorite dessert of all time. It's easy to make and decadent. It tastes exactly like the sundae cone ice cream treats we enjoyed as kids. This dessert is very rich at best. If you are watching your weight or blood sugar, feel free to use fat-free or sugar-free products when making this dessert. The taste will not suffer and any little bit helps, right?

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Recreate a childhood favorite ice cream truck treat with this drumstick torte. It features all the flavors of the ice cream sundae cone in a 9x13 layered dessert. The base is crushed sugar cones that are crunchy and sweet. The best part of this torte is the rich and creamy filling. Combining cream cheese and powdered sugar creates a smooth, velvety layer enhanced with nutty peanut butter. Instant pudding helps the rich and indulgent chocolate pudding layer come together in a snap. Finally, it's topped with whipped topping, chopped nuts, and grated chocolate. The hardest part of this frozen dessert recipe is waiting for the layers to slightly set up in the freezer.
