Beat the heat, stay cool and refreshed with a slice of Mexican Chocolate and Coffee Ice Cream Pie
Cook's notes: This pie is decadent but well worth the splurge for a refreshing summer treat. Perfect for Dad's Day. It could last in your freezer for up to a month but it's unlikely that will happen. The recipe was adapted from Southern Living August 2012
I used Haagen-Dazs coffee and chocolate ice cream (each container is 14 oz.)
Ingredients:
I used Haagen-Dazs coffee and chocolate ice cream (each container is 14 oz.)
Ingredients:
- 3-1/2 cups of finely ground graham crackers (about 1/2 packages)
- 2 teaspoons Saigon cinnamon or 2-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon)
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup mini semi-chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or almonds
- 1 cup toasted coconut
- 1 pt. container coffee ice cream-softened
- 1 pt. container chocolate ice cream-softened
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons coffee liqueur (I used Kahlua)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Use a blender or food processor to finely grind the graham cracker into crumbs. Add in cinnamon and melted butter, mix well.
- Reserve 1 cup of the crumbs and press the rest of the crumb mixture into a pie pan.
- Bake 6 minutes, set aside to cool.
- Stir together reserved 1 cup graham crumbs, mini-chocolate chips, toasted coconut, and nuts. Set aside.
- Spread softened coffee ice cream evenly over baked cooled crust. Sprinkle 1/2 cup crumb mixture (crumbs, chips, coconut, pecans) over the coffee ice cream layer.
- Freeze until firm. Repeat with the next layer of softened chocolate ice cream and sprinkle with the rest of the graham cracker mixture (reserve 1 tablespoon) and freeze until firm.
- Beat whipped cream, add in Kahlua, and spread over the top of each pie serving or over top of the entire pie. Sprinkle with the remaining reserved tablespoon crumb mixture.
- Serve immediately. Store leftover pie in the freezer and cover it with foil.
