Jodye and I have an aunt who was lovingly called "Aunt Boo" growing up. I think it the nickname got started when Jodye (the oldest grandchild on that side) couldn't pronounce her true name so "Boo" was born. She sounds like an Aunt who loves Halloween, huh?
(And if you think that's a unique name, we've got a couple other non-traditional names, like GG, which is a story for another time.)
This is her classic celebratory dessert and I looked forward to it every birthday that was thrown at her house!
It's easy (kid-friendly!) and delicious, the only catch is that you need the have time to let it freeze.

Grab your kids so they can help pound the cookies, lick the leftover bowls and drool with you!
See? They are having a rough time helping me clean up from the ice cream cake mess.
I'll put the recipe at the bottom, but basically you prep the ingredients and then assemble quickly.
From experience (Yes, I'll admit it!) it's better to read ahead and have everything in order than scramble around trying to keep the ice cream from melting too much.
**Note: As you can tell from the above picture, I let the ice cream melt too much! Which made it impossible to remove easily from the pan it set in.
