Directions: |
Directions:Combine wafer crumbs and butter in a medium-size mixing bowl; reserve 1/4 cup for topping (I skip this step and use all the crumbs for the crust.) Press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Spread ice cream over and freeze.
In a medium size saucepan melt chocolate and butter over low heat. Remove from heat and gradually add beaten egg yolks, stirring continuously. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla and nuts. Mix together and cool thoroughly. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into cooled chocolate mixture. Spread over ice cream layer, sprinkle with reserved crumbs and freeze. Allow to soften slightly before cutting into squares and serving.
A couple hints with this recipe- Freezing the crust for 30 minutes makes it easier to spread the ice cream. Melt the butter first, the warmed butter is sufficient to melt the chocolate, this prevents the chocolate from burning. Add the egg yolks and return to the heat. |
