Espresso Mud Pie

I prefer cake to ice cream which is why ice cream cake doesn’t really do it for me. I always end up wishing I had more cake than just a VERY thin layer at the bottom. Of course, I am basing this on Carvel’s ice cream cake since that is what everyone on the east coast seems to serve.

That being said, ice cream pie is a whole different story, because I would choose ice cream before pie. I know, my life is so complicated. So, when I saw a layer of espresso gelato covered with chocolate ganache all sitting on a cookie crust I knew it had to be good. Rich chocolaty goodness followed with a caffeine kick…sign me up.
