With some ice-cream, sugar, and cream on hand, one can pull together an awesome dessert in no time! This is one of those quick and easy recipes; a perfect dessert choice for special occasions when time runs out. For a larger amount, increase quantities and use a larger pan.
For a variation, substitute butter for the cream, adding a touch of salt, and some water too, if necessary, to thin it out. Butterscotch!
Serves 4 or so.
