Beverly Gottfried's kitchen in Candler, North Carolina is a popular spot when she serves up this deluxe dessert on hot summer days. Garnished with raspberries, each slice features smooth vanilla ice cream piled on a nutty chocolate crust. Eliminate last-minute fuss by preparing and freezing this pretty pie ahead of time. Ingredients:
2 pints vanilla ice cream, divided |
1 cup chocolate wafer crumbs (about 16 wafers) |
1/2 cup chopped almonds |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
fresh raspberries |
fresh mint, optional |
Directions:
1. Soften 1 pint of ice cream. Combine the cookie crumbs, nuts and butter. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. pie plate. Spread with the softened ice cream. Cover and freeze until firm. Scoop remaining ice cream into small balls; pile into crust. Cover and freeze for up to 2 months.
2. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Arrange raspberries between scoops. Garnish with mint if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
