dark chocolate wafers
-- (8 1/2-oz size
package) 1/4
cup

1/2

-----chocolate fudge sauce----- 5
ounces
unsweetened swiss chocolate 1/2
cup

cup
evaporated milk 3
cups
powdered sugar 1 1/4
teaspoons
vanilla
-----to serve-----
whipped cream
toasted sliced almonds
Directions:
Crush wafers and mix with 1/4 cup butter. Press into 9-inch pie pan to
form crust. Chill thoroughly or bake at 350F 7 minutes, then chill. Pack
ice cream into chilled crust, smoothing surface. Freeze until firm.
(Freezing before adding sauce is essential to keep fudge from slipping
off.) To make fudge sauce, melt chocolate and 1/2 cup butter together.
Remove from heat and blend in milk alternately with powdered sugar. Bring
to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring, 8 minutes
or until thickened and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour
3/4 cup sauce evenly over frozen pie and freeze until ready to serve. To
serve, top with dollops of whipped cream and sprinkle with almond slices.
Store remaining sauce in refrigerator and use as desired.
Note: Canned fudge sauce is used by restaurants, but you may use the one
given here or any other recipe.
