• Time Management Advice from Pie Tester Kate Antea
• This pie will take about 4 hours to make. While one layer is freezing, the next ice cream is out softening, and a sauce can be made and cooled. My suggestion is to start by making the caramel sauce (which can be done a day ahead). While the sauce cools, make the crust. While the caramel is freezing, take the chocolate ice cream out to soften. When the chocolate layer goes in to freeze, take out the vanilla ice cream to soften and chop the candy bars. When the vanilla layer goes in to freeze, make and cool the chocolate sauce. When the chocolate sauce layer goes in to freeze, take out the coffee ice cream to soften.
