Pecan Crust Ice Cream Pie with Rich Chocolate Sauce

Ingredients:
Crust:
Pecans, finely chopped
Sugar
Margarine or butter

Filling:
Ice cream

Rich Chocolate Sauce:
Chocolate
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup half-and-half

Directions:
Heat the oven to 400°F. Mix the pecans, sugar and margarine and press firmly against the bottom and side of an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. Bake 6 to 8 minutes; cool.
Spoon the ice cream into the pie shell and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
For the sauce, heat the chocolate, sugar and water over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Remove from heat and blend in the half-and-half. Serve warm or cool.
Remove the pie from the freezer 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges and spoon sauce over each serving.
