Mexican Chocolate and Coffee Ice-Cream Pie

"Ice Cream" or "I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream" is a popular song, first published in 1927 with words & music by Howard Johnson, Billy Moll, and Robert King. After initial success as a late 1920's novelty song, the tune became a traditional jazz standard, while the lyrics refrain "I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream" has remained a part of popular culture even without the rest of the song.

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:

• 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.
