Ah, I wondered; thanks for sharing the recipe's instructions. If you're
interested in the "icebox cake" recipe I use, it can be found with
detailed instructions (and photos, too -- just scroll down to the "tips
'n tricks" link at the bottom) on RFC's very own "signature dishes"
website at this location (thanks & kudos to CC!!!) --
