Indulgent chocolate wafer crust layered with tangy cranberry puree and creamy vanilla ice cream, finished with a decadent pistachio whipped cream topping.
Ingredients:
  • 24 chocolate wafers
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.5 cups cranberries
  • 0.5 cup light corn syrup
  • 0.33000001311302 cup white sugar
  • 0.33000001311302 cup water
  • 3 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 0.5 cup shelled pistachio nuts
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
  • Use a food processor or blender to finely grind the wafers. Combine the ground wafers with 1/4 cup of melted butter, then press the mixture into the bottom and partially up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Simmer cranberries, corn syrup, sugar, and water in a covered saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes. Blend the mixture until smooth, chill in a bowl until cold.
  • Layer half of the softened ice cream over the frozen crust. Pour all but 1/3 cup of the chilled cranberry mixture over the ice cream. Add the rest of the ice cream on top. Swirl a knife through the layers for a marbled effect. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Spread the remaining 1/3 cup of the cranberry mixture over the frozen dessert and continue to freeze for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Finely chop the pistachios and sauté them in a small skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of butter and salt. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Let it cool before using.
  • Whip chilled cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla, continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in cooled pistachios and spread the cream over the chilled cake. Freeze for 30 minutes, then tightly cover with plastic wrap and foil and freeze for 4 hours.
  • Wrap a hot, damp towel around the pan for 1 to 2 minutes to easily unmold the dessert by removing the sides of the pan.
