It rained all night long! The thunder and lightening were welcome sounds. This morning we opened every window and door and let everything air out. It is wonderful............never knew how welcome a good rain storm could be.
Bob mentioned "Mud Pie" the other day.........so dug out this old recipe.....date on it 3/95. I have a note to myself saying..........."the best you ever made"!! So, it is a tiny bit involved but well worth any effort. This was a favorite gift for Fathers Day and any Mans birthday.
Make a chocolate wafer crust........remember the chocolate wafers, crushed with 1/4 cup melted butter.......put in pie tin and then in frig.
Put 1 pint of vanilla ice cream in the frig to soften. When soft enough to smear........spread it carefully on top of the chocolate crust. Back in freezer.........now in a pan put 1/3 cup cocoa, 2/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup cream and 3 Tblsp butter. Bring to a boil......then cool to rm temp. When cool enough to spread..........Spread over the vanilla ice cream and back into the freezer. Now soften 1 pint of coffee ice cream (my favorite ice cream) in the frig for a bit............then carefully spread this over the chocolate layer. Back in the freezer. Beat one cup of whipping cream with 2 Tblsp sugar.......spread over the coffee layer. Garnish with some chocolate swirlys (use your carrot peeler on a little block of chocolate) Now........back in the freezer........really should freeze about 3 hours but I could never wait that long..........great dessert for a company dinner!
