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

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.
