Mocha Ice Cream Pie With Biscotti Crust

Let's Cook

1. Step 1.

   In a medium bowl, combine 1½ cups finely crushed biscotti crumbs and 5 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Stir with a fork until evenly moistened and the mixture has the consistency of wet sand.

2. Step 2.

   Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until ready to use.

3. Step 3.

   If using store-bought mocha ice cream, let it soften at room temperature until it reaches the consistency of soft-serve. If using freshly churned homemade ice cream, it is ready to use immediately.

4. Step 4.

   Spread the softened mocha ice cream evenly into the prepared frozen crust. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze until completely firm, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.

5. Step 5.

   To serve, run a knife under hot water for 30 seconds, then cut the pie into slices. Top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of chocolate shavings, and chopped toasted almonds.
