   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/2  cups          Chocolate wafer crumbs (abou -- 30 cookies)
      1/4  cup           Unsalted butter -- melted
    1 1/2  pints         Coffee ice cream -- slightly
                         softened
    1 1/2  cups          Heavy cream -- well chilled
    1      teaspoon      Vanilla
    1 1/2  cups          Amaretti -- crushed
      1/2  cup           Almonds; sliced -- toasted
                         Dark chocolate sauce
 
 In a bowl with a fork, stir together the crumbs and butter until the mixture is
well combined. Pat the mixture onto the bottom and 1″ up the sides of a lightly
oiled 8", 2-1/2″ deep springform pan. Freeze crust for 30 minutes or until
firm.  Spread ice cream evenly on the crust and return to freezer for 30
minutes or until ice cream is firm. In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat
cream with vanilla until it holds stiff peaks, fold in amaretti thoroughly and
spread over ice cream. Smooth top of cake, sprinkle with almonds, and freeze
cake for 30-45 minutes, or until top is firm. Freeze cake, covered with plastic
wrap and foil, overnight. Just before serving, wrap a warm damp towel around
the side of the pan, remove side of pan, and transfer cake to a serving plate.
Cut into wedges with a knife dipped in hot water and serve it with the Dark
Chocolate Sauce.
