Ingredients

Sauce
1 cup whipping cream
12 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Crust and filling
30 chocolate wafer cookies (about 7 ounces), broken into pieces
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3/4 pound fresh Bing cherries, pitted, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon brandy (optional)
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1 quart purchased vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
1/2 cup (about 3 ounces) miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

For sauce:
Bring whipping cream to simmer in heavy medium saucepan; remove from heat. Add chopped chocolate; whisk until smooth.
For crust and filling:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grind cookies in processor until coarse crumbs form. Add butter and blend until crumbs cling together and are evenly moistened. Press crumb mixture over bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Bake crust until slightly puffed and darker, about 10 minutes. Cool crust on rack. Combine cherries, sugar and brandy, if desired, in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until thick syrup forms, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in almond extract. Cool to room temperature.
Place ice cream in large bowl. Fold in cherry mixture and chocolate chips. Pack ice cream mixture into prepared crust. Cover pie and freeze. (Sauce and pie can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate sauce. Keep pie frozen.)
Rewarm sauce over low heat. Cut pie into wedges; serve with sauce.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE ICE CREAM PIE

I originally adopted this recipe from the Recipezaar account. It was called Classic Mud Pie but I changed it into my own recipe and it is no longer that 'classic' mud pie, so the name has been updated as well. Cook time does not include freezing time.

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) chocolate cookie pie crust
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
1 tablespoon coffee-flavored liqueur
1 pint cookies & cream ice cream, softened
1 pint chocolate ice cream, softened (I used double chocolate with fudge chunks)
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur, divided

Steps:

Over a double boiler on low heat, combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat, stir in coffee liqueur. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Spread 1/2 C sauce on bottom and up the sides of the chocolate cookie crust, letting it pool in the bottom. Shake gently to level out. Freeze for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine cookies and cream ice cream and 1 Tbsp coffee liqueur. Pour over fudge sauce layer in pie pan. Freeze 2 1/2-3 hours.
Once the first layer is mostly frozen, combine remaining Tbsp coffee liqueur with chocolate ice cream. Pour over first layer of ice cream.
Freeze several hours or overnight until firm.
Serve with remaining warm fudge sauce (if you haven't eaten it all already! yum!).

Tips:

Prepare the crust in advance: The Oreo cookie crust needs to chill for at least 30 minutes before filling it. You can make the crust up to a day ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
Use a high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the flavor of the ice cream pie. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa solids.
Temper the chocolate: Tempering the chocolate will help to give it a smooth, velvety texture. To temper chocolate, melt it slowly over a double boiler, stirring constantly. Once the chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, return the chocolate to the heat and stir until it reaches a temperature of 88-90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Chill the ice cream pie thoroughly: Before serving, chill the ice cream pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Chocolate fudge ice cream pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow the tips above to make the best chocolate fudge ice cream pie possible.
