Chocolate Amaretto Ice Food

WHITE CHOCOLATE AMARETTI ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place white chocolate in a small bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted; set aside.
• Combine the milk and cream in a small saucepan set over low heat, and cook until scalded or when bubbles start to form on the edge. Turn off heat.
• Place the egg yolks, sugar, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and beat on high speed until light yellow, about 3 minutes. On low speed, slowly add the scalded milk and cream, and beat until combined.
• Transfer the mixture into a clean medium saucepan, and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, over low heat until slightly thickened and the mixture coats the back of the spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the reserved melted chocolate and vanilla extract. Strain the mixture into a clean bowl, and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Add the crushed amaretti to the chilled mixture, and stir to combine. Freeze mixture in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

CHOCOLATE AMARETTO ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• NOTE: I just wanted to mention that the angel food cake I bought was in the bakery section of my grocery store and came in a rectangular size about the size of a loaf pan. You may have to fiddle around with the cuts if you can't find it that way. I also used NO SUGAR ADDED triple chocolate ice cream.
• Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap leaving a good size overhang on both sides. This will allow you to pull it out later with ease, as well as to wrap it up.
• Cut your rectangular cake lengthwise into 4 even slices. Cut 1 of the slices again lengthwise in half. Cut a second slice in half the other direction. These are your building blocks for the cake.
• Lay one of the full slices on the bottom on the loaf pan. Place the 2 smaller pieces on the ends, and the 2 longer half slices on the sides. You should have a sort of cake shell now.
• Drizzle amaretto liqueur all over the cake pieces, holding your fingers over the bottle so it doesn't come out to fast. Soak it as little or as much as you'd like!
• Scoop 4 heaping scoops of ice cream into the center of the cake shell.
• Drizzle more amaretto liqueur onto the last slice of cake and place it on the top shutting the ice cream inches Then fold the plastic wrap over it and press to really close it all together.
• Place in freezer for at least an hour to let the ice cream freeze back up and serve in slices with cocoa powder sprinkled over each piece!
