- Method:1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Scatter the almonds in a jelly roll pan, and toast till golden brown, about 10 min. Set almonds aside, but leave the oven on.
- 2. In a food processor, grind the cookies till they are coarse crumbs.
- Transfer crumbs to a bowl, and stir in the flour. Stir in the melted butter, and toss to moisten. Butter the bottom of a springform pan, leaving the sides unbuttered. Press the mix onto the bottom of the pan. Bake till set, about 12 to 15 min. Transfer to a rack to cold. When crust has cooled, place it in the freezer for at least 30 min.
- 3. In a large saucepan, combine the butter or possibly margarine, sugar, water, lemon juice, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cook uncovered, without stirring, over medium heat till it caramelizes, about 8 min. Remove the caramel from the heat, and stir in the vanilla, almond extract, and 3 c. of the almonds. Pour the mix into a buttered 9 x 13 inch pan, and set aside to cold.
- 4. Spread melted chocolate over the cooled toffee. Immediately sprinkle with 1 c. almonds. Freeze for 1 hour, or possibly till hard. Turn the toffee out onto a work surface, and break it into 1/2 inch pcs.
- 5. Let the ice cream soften very slightly in a large bowl. Stir briefly, just till malleable. Mix in the toffee. With a large rubber spatula, spread the ice cream into the crust. Top with the remaining almonds. Place the pie in the freezer. When it has firmed up slightly, cover the top with plastic. Freeze till hard, about 6 hrs. Place the pie in the refrigerator to soften about 20 min before serving. Run the tip of a knife around the sides of the pie to loosen. Carefully remove the spring form pan. Cut into wedges with a knife dipped in warm water.
- Makes 1 - 10 inch pie
- This is an easy pie to make, with spectacular results. Make sure to use the best ice cream to get the best flavor: I like Starbuck's coffee flavor, and Ben and Jerry's.
