Ingredients

  • 1 recipe Chocolate Cookie Crumb Crust
  • 1 pint coffee ice cream
  • 3 pints chocolate ice cream, divided
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows (about 2 ounces)
  • 3/4 cup chopped toasted pecans (see Notes)
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 1/2 cup cold heavy (whipping) cream
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (not margarine)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and butter a freezer-proof 10-inch deep-dish pie plate.
  • Press the crumb mixture over the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until set.
  • Cool.
  • Soften the coffee ice cream (see Notes) and spread into the cooled crust.
  • Place in the freezer to harden for about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, soften 1 pint of the chocolate ice cream in a large bowl.
  • Stir in the marshmallows and pecans.
  • Spread on top of the coffee layer.
  • Cover and freeze 15 minutes more.
  • Scoop the remaining 2 pints chocolate ice cream on top of the pie, mounding the scoops high in the center to resemble a "bed of rocks."
  • Wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours.
  • Store in the freezer.
  • To slice, let the pie stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes (see Bakers Tip in Notes).
  • Meanwhile, chop the chocolate for the Hot Fudge Sauce.
  • In a heavy saucepan, heat the cream, com syrup, and salt over medium heat just until bubbles start to form around the edge (do not boil).
  • Add the chocolate, butter, and vanilla and heat, stirring constantly, until smooth.
  • To serve, spoon a little of the hot sauce onto the bottom of each dessert plate.
  • Top with a slice of pie and drizzle more sauce over the top.
