Pistachio Birthday Cake
We love the flavor combination of the pistachio ice cream with a chocolate crust,
but any flavor can be substituted.
Makes 16 servings
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cubed
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
60 chocolate wafer cookies
1 recipe Pistachio Ice Cream (page 12), softened
½ cup chopped pistachios, toasted
1. In a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, combine the
butter and chocolate. Stirring occasionally, let sit until just melted.
Reserve.
2. In the bowl of a Cuisinart Food Processor fitted with the chopping
®
blade, add the chocolate wafer cookies. Pulse until finely chopped.
Add the melted butter/chocolate mixture through the feed tube of the
processor and pulse until completely combined. Press
chocolate crumb mixture into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan.
Place in freezer; chill 10 to 15 minutes to let crust harden.
3. Remove from freezer and spread half of the ice cream over the chilled
chocolate crust. Cover with plastic and return to freezer for about 30
minutes, or until just firm. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate crumb
mixture over the chilled ice cream and return to freezer again to chill,
for about 30 minutes. Spread the remaining ice cream evenly over the
top and smooth completely with an offset spatula. Cover and chill in
the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight to completely firm
the cake.
4. Before serving, remove the ice cream cake from the pan and press the
chopped pistachios around the sides of the cake. Serve on chilled
plates.

1. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together the sugar, salt,

20 minutes). Keep a close eye on the caramel sauce as it can burn
easily.
2. Once the sugar mixture has a light amber color, take it off the stove
and slowly and carefully stir in the cream. After the cream has been
incorporated, slowly whisk in the butter, one piece at a time,
continually whisking to emulsify until all the butter has been added.
Use immediately, or keep warm over a pot of warm water.
