ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ Log
Yield: about 4 servings.
Ingredients
For the logs:
1 box Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers
1/2 c. sliced almonds
1 pint vanilla ice cream
For the sauce:
4 Tbsp. butter
4 oz. unsweetened baker’s chocolate
1/2 lb. confectioner’s sugar
6 oz. evaporated milk pinch of salt
Preparation
In a 350 degree oven, toast the almonds until they are slightly browned, then cool.
For the logs:
- Crush the chocolate wafers in a blender or food processor until the crumbs are fine and smooth.
- Cut the ice cream into four or more equal servings, depending on the desired serving size. Return the portions to the freezer, removing each as needed.
- Mound the wafer crumbs on a flat service and working quickly, roll a portion of ice cream back and forth on the crumbs until shaped into a log.
- Return the ice cream log to the freezer immediately after it is done.
- Repeat the process with the remaining ice cream portions.
For the sauce:
- Combine the ingredients in a double boiler and cook over medium heat until the sauce is thick and smooth, at least 30 minutes.
- The sauce can be prepared ahead of time and reheated as necessary.
To serve:
- Cut the ends off the logs to expose the ice cream centers.
- To anchor the log on the plate, ladle a small dollop of chocolate sauce onto the dessert plate and place the log on top.
- Ladle a small amount of additional chocolate sauce on top of the log and garnish with toasted almonds.
