    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2/3 cup sliced almonds
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 cup butter
    1 tbs all-purpose flour
    2 tbs milk
    1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened (I use golden vanilla)

    Recipe



    Combine first 5 ingredients in a heavy saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and set aside.

    Line a 15x10x1inch jellyroll pan with aluminum foil; spread almond mixture onto foil in a thin layer.
    Bake at 350 for 7 minutes or until a light golden brown. Cool; remove from foil, and crumble.

    Sprinkle half of almond mixture in bottom of a 10 inch springform pan. Spoon ice cream evenly on top; spring with remaining almond mixture, pressing down slightly with back of spoon.

    Freeze 8 hours or until firm. Serve with dark chocolate sauce. Yield: 12 servings.

    Dark Chocolate Sauce
    1/2 cup butter
    4 (1 oz) squares unsweetened chocolate
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1/2 cup cocoa
    pinch of salt
    1 cup milk
    1 tsp vanilla extract*

    Melt butter and chocolate in heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring often.

    Combine sugar, cocoa and salt; stir sugar mixture and milk into chocolate mixture.

    Bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Cool, stirring occasionally. Sauce may be refrigerated for up to 1 week.

    Yield: 3 cups.

    *1 to 2 tbs Kahlua may be substituted for vanilla
    Note: Leftover sauce thickens when refrigerated. To serve, microwave at high, stirring at 30 second intervals until chocolate reaches drizzling consistency.
