Cappuccino Cake
- 12 chocolate graham-cracker sheets, crushed (about 2 1/3 cups)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons espresso powder
- Pinch kosher salt
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 quart coffee ice cream
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grind together the graham crackers, sugar, espresso powder, and salt in a food processor to make fine crumbs.
- Add the melted butter with the processor running, and pulse just to combine.
- Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a buttered 8-inch pie plate, making sure the crumbs are evenly distributed.
- Bake the crust until crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes, then cool completely before filling.
- Remove the ice cream from freezer to soften a bit while you make the whipped cream.
- Whip the cream and sugar in a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, to form soft peaks.
- Add the sour cream, and whisk until just combined.
- Spread the ice cream in an even layer over the crust.
- Dollop the whipped-cream mixture on top, and spread upward to a dome shape.
- Freeze overnight, or until the cream is frozen.
- To serve, cut with a sharp knife dipped in hot water.
