  5. 9
    Stir gently from the center outward, until you get a smooth, glossy cream.
    💡Stir gently from the center outward: vigorous stirring beats in air, and the ganache loses its shine.
  6. 10
    Cool 15 minutes, until it is still liquid but not hot.
  7. 11
    Pour the ganache over the ice cream, sprinkle the rest of the crumbs on top and freeze for at least 6 hours.
    Freezer
  8. 12
    Before serving, release the sides of the pan and wait 10 minutes, then slice with a knife warmed in hot water.
