Notes: Perhaps no one wants you to know just how simple a concoction Hula Pie is. There's no baking, and you can find most of the ingredients ready made: chocolate cookie pie crust, macadamia nut ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, chopped mac nuts.
Once you pile all this stuff dizzily high, however, the Hula Pie turns into a mountain of pure dessert indulgence that impresses the heartiest of eaters.
If you can't find the macadamia nut ice cream:
1/2 gallons vanilla ice cream, softened
1 cup roasted, salted macadamia nuts, finely chopped
Use vanilla ice cream and blend in finely chopped roasted, salted macadamia nuts. The salted nuts bring a lot of flavor into the ice cream, but you must take care to chop them finely because large nuts will be difficult to slice through when you are ready to serve the pie.
(If you’d prefer to make your own pie crust, too, simply mix chocolate wafer crumbs (about a cup and a half) with a little sugar and about ¼ cup melted butter. Press the mixture into a pie pan.)
(To make the chocolate fudge topping:
3 oz butter
4 oz dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tsp instant coffee powder
1 tbsp corn syrup (optional)
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, dark chocolate, coffee powder and corn syrup. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
