Tuesdays with Dorie - Chocolate Banded Ice Cream Torte
This week’s recipe was chosen by Amy of Food, Family, and Fun (go there for the recipe). This is something that I would have NEVER made on my own, becuase it seems too fancy. I have just never made anything fancy. The original recipe calls for the ice cream layers to have raspberry incorporated. Since I do not enjoy fruit and chocolate mixed together (I know, I am weird) and I wanted to be able to enjoy this, I went with plain vanilla bean ice cream.
I started the process of making this WAY too late one evening. I realized that each layer needed to chill in the freezer a while before the next layer could be added, I just apparently can’t do math… So, at 11 pm, I decided sleep was more important that a pretty torte and lost my patience. Therefore, my torte is not pretty, but it is yummy!
You can see, I also lost my patience while trying to cut out a slice!
You can check out the rest of the group’s tortes here. I am sure most of those are much neater and prettier than mine!
Next week: Chunky Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chipsters!

I don’t think it looks bad! Besides, who needs pretty when it tastes good!

Pretty is overrated. Glad you enjoyed it!
