Ingredients

  • 3 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 cups chocolate ice cream, softened
  • 2 cups strawberry ice cream, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions

  1. 1
    In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Stir in the cracker crumbs, pecans and brown sugar. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. 2
    Spread chocolate ice cream into crust. Layer with strawberry ice cream. Cover and freeze 1-2 hours or until firm.
  3. 3
    In a small saucepan, bring the sugar, water and butter to a boil; stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Add the chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature. Drizzle 1/2 cup over ice cream. Freeze until firm.
  4. 4
    In a small heavy saucepan, combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar. With a hand mixer, beat on low speed for 1 minute. Continue beating over low heat until egg mixture reaches 160°, about 4 minutes.
  5. 5
    Transfer to a bowl; beat 5-7 minutes or until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Immediately spread over frozen pie. Heat with a creme brulee torch for 3-4 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Serve immediately with remaining chocolate sauce.
