Yield: 8 Servings

25 25

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups crushed crisp ladyfinger cookies
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup Nutella
2/3 cup caramel ice cream topping
2 tablespoons plus 2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1-1/2 cups slivered almonds
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, divided
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Additional heavy whipping cream, whipped
Chocolate stars for garnish if desired, optional

Directions

Combine crushed cookies and butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Spread Nutella over crust. In a large bowl, combine caramel topping and 2 tablespoons cream; stir in almonds. Spoon over Nutella layer.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar; stir in melted chocolate and vanilla until smooth. In a large bowl, beat remaining cream until stiff peaks form; fold into cream cheese mixture. Spread over caramel-almond layer.
Sprinkle with remaining confectioners' sugar. Garnish with additional whipped cream and chocolate stars if desired. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Yield: 8 servings.

Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Alessi crisp ladyfinger cookies. Kept refrigerated, this can be made the day before serving.
