This is the same recipe we use and we love it. It is not too heavy, great for summer gatherings. The only thing we do differently is to heat the frosting in the microwave until it is just pourable, then we pour it over the top. It works just great like that for us.

This was so easy to do and my boys thought it was the greatest. Perfect for a hot day.

Very good and extremely easy. I cut the recipe in half and made it in an 8x8" glass dish. I cut it into 9 pieces (so the full recipe could easily serve 18). I substituted whipped cream for the non dairy topping. I took the suggestion of other reviewers and melted the frosting in the microwave for 30 seconds and then poured it over the top. Thanks for the recipe.
