Tip Top Toffee Ice Cream Pie image

This is an easy pie to make, with spectacular results. Make sure to use the best ice cream to get the best flavor; I like Starbucks® coffee flavor, and Ben and Jerry's®.

Time 8h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 cups sliced almonds
21 chocolate sandwich cookies with creme filling
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup butter, melted
1 ⅓ cups butter
1 ½ cups white sugar
⅓ cup cold water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
3 (1 ounce) squares semi-sweet chocolate
1 quart chocolate ice cream, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Scatter the almonds in a jelly roll pan, and toast until golden, about 10 minutes. Set almonds aside, but leave the oven on.
  • In a food processor, grind the cookies until they are coarse crumbs. Transfer crumbs to a bowl, and stir in the flour. Stir in the 1/2 cup melted butter, and toss to moisten. Butter the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan, leaving the sides unbuttered. Press the mixture onto the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake until set, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. When crust has cooled, place it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  • Butter a 9x13-inch pan; you'll need this for the toffee filling. Set aside 3 cups of the toasted sliced almonds.
  • In a large saucepan, combine the 1 1/3 cups butter, sugar, water, lemon juice, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cook uncovered, without stirring, over medium heat until it caramelizes, about 8 minutes. Remove the caramel from the heat, and stir in the vanilla, almond extract, and 3 cups of the almonds. Pour the mixture into the buttered pan, and set aside to cool.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate until melted. Stir occasionally until chocolate is smooth. Spread melted chocolate over the cooled toffee. Immediately sprinkle with about 1 cup of the remaining sliced almonds. Freeze for 1 hour, or until firm. Turn the toffee out onto a work surface, and break it into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Let the ice cream soften very slightly in a large bowl. Stir briefly, just until malleable. Fold in the toffee pieces. With a large rubber spatula, spread the ice cream into the crust. Top with the remaining almonds. Place the pie in the freezer. When it has firmed up slightly, cover the top with plastic. Freeze until firm, about 6 hours.
  • Place the pie in the refrigerator to soften about 20 minutes before serving. Run the tip of a knife around the sides of the pie to loosen. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Cut into wedges with a knife dipped in hot water.

The crust was a little dry, but the ice cream and toffee sauce were delicious. I would definitely make this pie again, but I would use a different crust recipe.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would have liked it better with a less sweet toffee sauce.

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought crust to save time, and it still came out delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of toffee, but this pie was surprisingly good. The crust was the perfect balance of crumbly and flaky, and the ice cream was rich and creamy.

This toffee ice cream pie was a huge hit with my family! The combination of the sweet and salty toffee sauce with the creamy ice cream and flaky crust was perfect.
