Easy Ice Cream Pistachio Dessert Recipe with Step By Step Pictures, Except One
This recipe is very easy and loved by everyone I've served it too. NOTE: it has small bits of pistachio in the pudding, not suitable for nut allergy individual. The crust is a light layer of buttery Ritz crackers, the filling is ice cream with pistachio pudding and there's cool whip on top, what's not to love?
My friend brought this dessert to a work function when I was in Registration at then St. Mary's Medical Center, now Essentia. I begged for the recipe! I don't know the origin or where she got it from so I apologize to it's founder. I took pictures at each step, except the third one, you'll see why. Oops!

The Buttery Crunchy Crust
Take 48 Ritz crackers (yes, I count them), crushed fine. I use a plastic zip lock and a rolling pin. Do this while you're melting a stick of butter and combine the two with a fork until the crackers are completely moistened.

Make The Filling
Combine two small packages of instant pistachio pudding, 1 and 1/2 C. milk and 1 quart of softened vanilla ice cream with a mixer (careful, start slow or it will end up spraying your cupboards....so I've been told). Then pour on top of the cooled cracker crust. Then I put it in the freezer for a bit before the next step, it make the application easier. Oh, and as you can see, I forgot to snap the picture, sorry.

Add The Cool Whip
After the filling has hardened it will be easier to slather on the Cool Whip. Cool overnight in the freezer. Must be kept frozen. Just before serving I put a spoonful of crushed Heath bars on top, but that's optional.
