Chocolate Ice Cream Pie
Serves 8
Ingredients:
25g plain chocolate wheatmeal biscuits crushed to crumbs
50g butter
1 litre vanilla ice cream
50g bitter chocolate
This recipe can be adapted by using either coffee or chocolate chip ice
cream (or toffee and almond) with a plain biscuit crust. If you use
vanilla its lovely served with a chocolate fudge sauce poured over just
before serving.
Directions:
Preheat the oven to gas mark 5 3 75 ¡ F (190 ¡ C) . You
will also need a sloping sided pie tin 24 cms. diameter (top measurement).
First crush the chocolate biscuits finely and put them into a mixing bowl.
Then heat the butter gently in a small saucepan and mix this into the
crumbs. Now press the crumbs into the base and sides of the tin and pop it
into the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
After that remove it and leave to get completely cold. Empty the ice cream
into a bowl and quickly whisk it to soften slightly and become spreadable
(don't let it melt completely though).
Then spread half the ice cream in the biscuit lined tin
and grate half the chocolate over the surface. Now spread the remaining
ice cream over and finish off with the rest of the chocolate on top. Cover
the pie with foil or clingfilm and freeze for at least 11/2 hours before
serving.
