Directions
-
In a small saucepan, combine the sifted powdered sugar, butter, heavy cream, chocolate envelopes, corn syrup, and salt.

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Allow the chocolate sauce to cool to room temperature.
-
Spread half of the cooled chocolate sauce evenly on the bottom of the baked pie shell.
-
Sprinkle with one-quarter cup of the chopped pecans.
-
Freeze the pie for 10 minutes to set the base layer.
-
Spread one cup of softened coffee-flavored ice cream over the nut layer.
-
Freeze the pie for 20 minutes to firm up the ice cream.
-
Repeat the layering process twice more: spread half of the remaining sauce, sprinkle with remaining pecans, freeze briefly, then spread remaining ice cream.
-
Garnish the top with whipped cream.
-
Drizzle any remaining chocolate sauce over the top.
-
Freeze until firm before serving.

Note
Ensure the ice cream is softened enough to spread easily but still cold enough to hold its shape. If it melts too much, place it back in the freezer for a few minutes before spreading.
The pie can be stored in the freezer for up to one month. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and foil to prevent freezer burn.
For best results, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
You can substitute regular vanilla ice cream if coffee-flavored ice cream is unavailable, but the coffee flavor complements the chocolate beautifully.
