Chocolate Mint Ice Cream Pie
| Ingredients: |
| • |
1/2 cup plain chocolate , broken into squares, or chocolate chips |
| • |
3 tbsp butter |
| • |
2 cups crisped rice cereal |
| • |
4 cups ready-made mint-chocolate-chip ice cream, softened until spreadable |
| • |
3 oz plain chocolate, in one piece |
|
|
|
Directions:
Line a 23cm/9in pie tin with foil, then add a second lining of
non-stick baking paper. Melt the chocolate squares or chocolate chips
with the butter in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water. Remove
from the heat and stir in the cereal, a little at a time. Cool for
about 5 minutes.
Press the chocolate-coated cereal mixture evenly over the bottom and
sides of the prepared tin, to make a pie shell with a 1 cm/1/2in rim
Chill in the freezer until the cereal mixture has set completely.
Lift out the pie shell, then carefully peel away the paper and foil and
return the shell to the tin. Spread the ice cream evenly into the pie
shell, then freeze for about 1 hour, until firm.
Make the decoration. Soften the chocolate slightly by cupping it in
your hands, then shave off short, wide curls with a swivel-bladed
vegetable peeler. Scatter the curls over the ice cream pie just before
serving. |
