Instructions
- Leave the ice cream pints at room temperature for 15 minutes to soften, making them easier to spread.
- Remove the cake from its pan and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp or serrated knife, carefully slice the cake horizontally into three even layers. You can use a ruler to ensure uniform layers.
- Line the empty cake tin with a large sheet of saran wrap making sure there is enough overhang to wrap the cake before freezing.
- Place the bottom cake layer in the cake tin. Scoop out the pistachio ice cream from the first pint and spread it evenly over the cake layer. Sprinkle one-third of the pistachios over the ice cream layer.
- Repeat the above process with the second cake layer, adding ice cream and pistachios. Add the top cake layer and gently press it down.
- Wrap the cake tin tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours or up to a few days.
- When ready to serve, remove the cake from the freezer and unwrap it. Stretch the aluminum pan to release the cake, or run a knife around the edge to free it onto a serving dish or cutting board.
- Spread an even layer of Cool Whip over the top and sprinkle with the remaining pistachios. Using a sharp bread knife, cut the ice cream cake into 1-inch slices and serve.

- Turkish pistachios work great in this recipe as they have a rich, buttery flavor with a hint of sweetness. They also have striking pinkish-red shells and vibrant green kernels making them visually stunning.
