Boysenberry Truffle Ice Cream Pie

Submitted by Zephs Wife

"Easy and sooo yummy. Got this recipe when I worked at Knott's Berry Farm. "Cooking" time is chilling time. Shortbread cookie crumbs should total the 1 1/2 cup, its hard to get the recipe to write up that way. Also note the divided use of the jam."

Knott's Berry Farm was THE PLACE to go when my kids were small & the 'farm' itself still had no entrance fee ~ And, the boysenberry jam, OUTSTANDING, as is this GREAT ICE CREAM PIE! This is so easy to prepare & the chocolate & toasted almonds make for wonderful additions! Will certainly make this again at times over the coming warmer months!
