Cherry,Pistachio,Chocolate Icecream Sandwich

Recipe today from Veggienumnum.com

Important Note: I HUGELY recommend Whole Foods- Cherry Chocolate Icecream for the icecream filling. Our fridge has been stocked with it ever since we made this. Its cherry with chocolate chips and chunks of cherries. It's AMAZING on this sandwich. We also used chocolate Pizelle cookies from Whole Foods as our wafer. They are a little lighter ( only 20 calories each- if you're counting ) than a chocolate covered wafer.

Preparation time: 5mins (+2 hours freezing time)
Serves 4
  • 1 litre (1 quart) vanilla ice-cream
  • 8 wafer biscuits
  • 3 tbs raw unsalted pistachio nuts, roughly chopped
  • 8 fresh cherries, chopped
  • 8 extra fresh cherries whole
  • 2 tbs maple syrup (optional)
Line a 25cm (10 inch) square, 10cm (4 inch) deep dish with baking paper.
Spoon frozen ice-cream into the prepared dish and press down evenly.
Cover well with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hour until firm.
Turn the ice-cream out of the dish onto a chopping board and using a wafer biscuit as a guide cut out squares of ice cream; one for each wafer.
Gently press the edges of each sandwich into the chopped pistachio nuts.
Serve sandwich with remaining whole cherries and drizzled with maple syrup if desired.
Yum num nummmm..
Place the sandwich wafer side down and top with chopped cherries and reaming wafer biscuit.
