MARY'S 'FAMOUS' PEPPERMINT ICE CREAM DESSERT



Mary's 'famous' Peppermint Ice Cream Dessert image

This is made by our friend Mary for New Years annually, and I started making it when we would not be at Mary's house because it's DH's favorite. I made some of my own changes, but still think of it as Mary's recipe (I note where Mary's directions differ from mine in the ingredients list.). I also have never timed myself making this, but will the next time I make it and then update the time estimate. Peppermint ice cream is easier to find (IMO) in December.

Time 12h45m

Yield 1 9X13 pan, 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

11 ounces vanilla wafers (Mary's directions actually call for 2 small boxes, but my store only has one size. This seems to wor)
3/4 cup butter (Mary's recipe calls for margarine, but I don't keep that in the house)
4 tablespoons powdered sugar
4 ounces German sweet chocolate (Mary's recipe says 1 bar, I've only ever seen a 4 oz size for sale)
12 ounces milk chocolate chips
4 eggs (separated)
1 cup crushed nuts (not specified, I usually use walnuts)
1/2 gallon peppermint ice cream (pink looks great, softened)

Steps:

  • Crush vanilla wafers.
  • Melt butter.
  • Mix wafers, butter, and powdered sugar together. Spread 2/3 of mixture in bottom of 9X13 (or slightly larger) pan.
  • Melt sweet and milk chocolate in a double boiler.
  • Beat egg yolks, add to melted chocolate and remove from heat.
  • Beat egg whites until stiff, add to chocolate mixture.
  • Pour 2/3 of chocolate sauce over wafer mixture.
  • Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
  • Carefully spread softened ice cream (Mary's recipe says to cut in sticks and lay on top of nuts, but that kind of box is hard to find anymore). I use a wide spoon and put fairly thin chunks across the surface, then smooth it out a little to make sure all the chocolate is covered.
  • Pour rest of chocolate sauce over the ice cream.
  • Sprinkle with remaining wafer mixture.
  • Freeze at least overnight or for a few days. Remove from freezer shortly before serving to make it easier to cut.
