Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chocolate graham crackers
- 75 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 liter Vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1.5 tablespoons Instant espresso powder
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 50 grams Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Line the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper.
Crush the chocolate graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor, or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles damp sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to form the torte's crust. Chill in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the softened vanilla ice cream with the instant espresso powder. Stir until the espresso powder is evenly incorporated.
Spread the espresso-flavored ice cream evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and freeze the torte for at least 4 hours, or until fully firm.
Shortly before serving, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Remove the torte from the springform pan, and place it on a serving platter.
Spread the whipped cream over the top of the frozen torte, or dollop it on individual slices as desired.
Garnish with chocolate shavings and a dusting of cocoa powder, if using.
Slice and serve immediately. Store leftovers in the freezer.
