Total Time: 3 hours, 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) cream
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2½ tbsp (50 g) chopped dark chocolate
- 1 cup (125 g) bitterkoekjes (or amaretti)
- ½ cup (125 ml) crème fraîche

Mix the chocolate, cookies, crème fraîche and liqueur with the cream. Spoon the mixture into a pretty, freezer-proof glass bowl or freezer-proof serving glasses and leave to stiffen in the freezer for a few hours.
Take the ice cream out of the freezer a half an hour before serving, so that the ice cream can soften a bit. Garnish with the remaining cookies.
