Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ðF (204ðC) and butter a 9-inch pie pan generously.
  2. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in the finely chopped almonds.
  5. Spread the meringue mixture into the prepared pie pan, creating a shell with sides extending slightly over the rim.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  7. Soften the coffee and chocolate ice cream slightly for easier spreading.
  8. Layer the coffee ice cream into the cooled meringue shell, followed by the chocolate ice cream.
  9. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  10. For the caramel sauce: In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  11. Stir in 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and cook until dissolved and bubbling.
  12. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup half-and-half and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  13. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts.
  14. Let the sauce cool slightly.
  15. When ready to serve, remove pie from freezer and pour warm caramel sauce over the top just before slicing.
