The Crust


3 cups Oreo cookie crumbs

1 ½ quarts banana gelato or ice cream
1 cup small chunks (1/4") white chocolate
1 cup chopped roasted hazelnuts
1 ½ quarts pecan praline gelato or ice cream
6 bars Butterfinger, crumbled
12 sprigs mint

Let ice cream soften. Reserve ¼ cup white chocolate chunks and hazelnuts for topping. Mix remaining white chocolate chunks and hazelnuts with banana gelato (or ice cream). Place half pecan praline gelato into spring form pan. Sprinkle with half the crumbled butterfingers. Follow with banana gelato. Repeat process with remaining gelato mixture and butterfingers. Top with reserved white chocolate chunks and chopped hazelnuts. Place into freezer for approx. 2 hours.

Truffle Chocolate Sauce


1 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
¼ cup chopped milk chocolate
4 Tbsp. sweet butter
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup chocolate truffle liquor

¼ cup granulated sugar
Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl. Whisk until hard peaks form. Set aside. Refrigerate.

Presentation
