What to do with that big pot of molten chocolate from last week’s post? Make an Ice Cream Pie, of course. This is a very simple recipe, but makes for a crowd pleasing dessert, unless you are lactose intolerant. If that’s the case, then I am so sorry for you because you are missing out….
Homemade Chocolate Fudge Sauce
This recipe comes from my grandmother, my mom’s mom, who probably got it from somewhere many many years ago. I just remember it as her chocolate sauce as part of her Ice Cream Pie. She had two desserts that I begged her to make all of the time – one was a simple no-bake chocolate…

That long awaited apple pie…
