TOFFEE AND CHOCOLATE ICE-CREAM PIE

Hi, here is my second recipe for you to try.  It is a dessert this time and it is very easy to make.  It has a bit of  a 'wow' factor when you bring it to the table so you could you use when entertaining friends and family.  Also you can make it in advance and leave it in the freezer until needed so it's great if you are entertaining as you can concentrate on the main course.  It is called toffee and chocolate ice-cream pie and it comes from the Hairy Bikers Perfect Pies recipe book.
