Delightful layered dessert combining chocolate, cherry, and pistachio flavors, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Filling
- 1 pint chocolate ice cream (softened)
- 1 pint cherry ice cream (softened)
- 1 pint pistachio ice cream (softened)
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and cocoa powder. Pour in the melted butter and mix well until the crumbs are thoroughly coated and resemble wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking pan to form an even crust.
- Spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Layer the cherry ice cream over the chocolate layer, followed by the pistachio ice cream.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Once frozen, let the bars sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before cutting into squares.
- Garnish with chopped pistachios before serving.
