Thank you Amy of food, family and fun for choosing this weeks Chocolate -Banned Ice Cream torte. It is on pages 288-289 in Dories cookbook, From my home to yours.
Ready to freeze
I really was NOT going to make this weeks TWD recipe. But Im telling you this group is addictive! I read over the recipe several times and thought ..man I just don't have the energy to make this. The steps of freezing the ganache, spreading more ice cream and freezing again really felt like a pain in the butt! But like a good TWD groupie I decided to GO FOR IT and dive in!
Freezing!
Lovely swirls.
I knew if I made it with raspberries it would sit in the cold dark freezer for a while before it hit the trash can. I went with plain vanilla ice cream and reese's peanut butter cups.
I started making this and I'm telling you all these steps of freezing and waiting is just not my cup of tea. So I thought screw this I'm putting the chocolate ganache down than the ice cream and the ganache on top..forget that middle layer. White chocolate is a favorite of mine , so I drizzled some Ghirardelli white chocolate on the top layer.
In the freezer it went, off to football practice we went. When we got home I wrapped a hot towel around my spring form pan and it slid off like magic. The cake was easy to cut and let me tell you it tastes absolutely divine. My daughter said it is way better than any dessert she has had at any restaurant! Cool, huh! I'm liking this one.
This tastes so good!

I wanted to use peanut butter ice cream so badly.
Yours looks divine.
Oooh, your swirls! So pretty! (I thought that the ganache on outside layer of my torte was sort of unattractive and frosty looking, but the swirls would totally solve that problem!) The thought of Reese's add-ins makes me all weak in the knees. Your torte looks fabulous!
