• STEP 4.Cover the torte with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, remove the torte from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Slice and serve.
• STEP 5.For storage, wrap the torte tightly in plastic wrap and keep it in the freezer for up to a week. To serve, let it thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before slicing.

Cooking Tips

• To easily crush graham crackers, place them in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs.
• Make sure to constantly stir the sugar while melting to prevent it from burning.
• For a variation, you can use different flavors of ice cream or add other toppings like chocolate sauce or whipped cream.

Storage and Serving

• Store the torte in the freezer to maintain its texture and prevent melting.
• Serve the torte chilled for the best taste and texture.
• Garnish each slice with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a sprinkle of crushed almonds for an extra touch of elegance.
