ICE CREAM CAKE
1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs (about 30 wafers)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 1/2 pints coffee ice cream, softened
1 1/2 cups whipping cream, chilled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups crushed amaretti cookies (about 5 oz)
1/2 cup sliced blanched almonds, lightly toasted
CHOCOLATE SAUCE (I use jarred hot fudge)
1 oz unsweetened chocolate
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the cake, mix the wafer crumbs and butter in a bowl. Pat crumb mixture in bottom of an oiled 8" springform pan. Freeze for 30 minutes. Spread ice cream in prepared pan. Beat whipping cream and vanilla in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold in cookie crumbs. Spread the mixture over the prepared layers. Smooth top and sprinkle with almonds. Freeze, covered 4-10 hours. For sauce, heat chocolate and water in saucepan over low heat until blended. Stir in sugar and salt. Cook 2-3 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla and stir until blended. Can be prepared in advance and reheated. To serve, slice cake and serve each slice in a pool of chocolate sauce.

I'm not sure this cake is for everyone. It's very boozy and has a strong coffee flavor. But if you like those things, you'll love this cake.

This cake was a disaster. It fell apart when I tried to frost it and the icing was too sweet.

I'm not sure this cake is for everyone. It's very boozy and has a strong coffee flavor. If you don't like either of those things, you probably won't like this cake.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake fell apart when I tried to frost it. It was still delicious, but it didn't look very appetizing.

The cake was a little dry. I think I needed to add more liquid to the batter.

I made this cake exactly as directed. It was a little too boozy for my taste. Next time, I'll cut back on the liqueur.

The coffee and alTurismomond liqueur give this cake a unique and delicious flavor. I highly recommend trying it.
