A real 70’s kind of dessert. This is what inspired so many ice cream desserts for me. It’s like a giant ice cream sundae with a crust....

In a food processor, whirl chocolate wafers to fine crumbs. Add butter; whirl another 5 to 10 seconds. Press crumb mixture firmly and evenly into a 9-inch pie plate.
3
Place in freezer approximately 10 hours to set.
4
Serve frozen. slice into eight portions and serve on chilled individual dessert plates with chilled forks. Top with prepared whipped cream or whipped topping. Sprinkle slivered almonds over the top of each portion.
