Cooking With Gourmet Coffee

Ingredients

• 1 package chocolate wafers, crushed
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 gallon coffee ice cream, softened (on counter for 15 to 20 minutes)
• 6 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur, divided (recommended: Kahlua)
• 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons hot fudge sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine crushed cookie wafers with melted butter and press onto bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake in oven for 10 minutes. Let cool.

Combine softened ice cream and 5 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur using a stand mixer or hand mixer until creamy. Fill pie crust with ice cream mixture, cover with plastic wrap and place in freezer for 3 to 4 hours.

Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Top frozen pie with whipped cream. Refreeze for 1 hour.

Combine remaining tablespoon of coffee-flavored liqueur with hot fudge sauce, drizzle over top of pie and serve.
