Ingredients

2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs (about 32 squares)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon sugar
FILLING:
1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream, softened
1 jar (12-1/4 ounces) caramel ice cream topping

Spread half of the ice cream over crust; spoon caramel and hot fudge toppings over ice cream. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and walnuts; freeze until firm. Spread with remaining ice cream over the top. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
In a large bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in sugar, cocoa, vanilla and coffee granules. Pipe or spoon onto dessert. Sprinkle with additional chocolate chips and walnuts. Return to freezer until 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 16-20 servings.
