Kahlua Ice Cream Pie
Ingredients:

– 1/4 cup melted butter
– 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
– 1/2 cup Kahlua
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
– Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the cookie crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to create the crust.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely.
5. While the crust is cooling, take the slightly softened vanilla ice cream and mix in the Kahlua until well combined.
6. Pour the Kahlua-infused ice cream into the cooled cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Cover the pie dish with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream has set.
8. Before serving, prepare the whipped cream by whipping the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
9. Once the ice cream pie is set, spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie.
10. Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
11. Slice and serve the Kahlua Ice Cream Pie chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together for a truly decadent dessert experience.
