20 amaretti cookies
1 cup (250 mL) whole dried apricots
2 tbsp (25 mL) butter, melted
3 cups (750 mL) vanilla ice cream
1 oz (30 g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
Zabaglione:
4 eggs
1/4 cup (50 mL) packed dark brown sugar
2 tbsp (25 mL) amaretto liqueur
Preparation:
In food processor, combine cookies with 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the apricots until in fine crumbs. Drizzle in butter, pulsing to moisten.
Press cookie mixture onto bottom and up side of 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan with removable bottom. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Zabaglione: In large heatproof bowl set over saucepan of gently simmering water, whisk together egg yolks, brown sugar and amaretto; cook, whisking constantly, until thick enough to mound softly on spoon, about 8 minutes. Remove bowl from heat; let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place ice cream in refrigerator to soften, about 30 minutes. Slice 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the remaining apricots into slivers; sprinkle over crust. Spoon ice cream over top; smooth surface. Top with zabaglione, spreading evenly. Freeze for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in bowl over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, melt bittersweet chocolate. Dip each of the remaining whole apricots halfway into chocolate; let stand on waxed paper-lined plate until set, about 10 minutes.
Arrange apricots over tart. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours. (Make-ahead: Cover and freeze for up to 2 days.) To serve, cut with hot dry knife.
