Not much beats this classic combination of pistachio and cherry. The sweet and rich notes of pistachio are balanced by the tart quality of cherries in this ice cream pie that's easy to throw together and will satisfy any crowd.

Directions
Make the crust: Mix the cookie crumbs, granulated sugar and melted butter in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Make the filling: Spread the pistachio ice cream in the crust and top with the chopped pistachios and cherries, lightly pressing them down so they stick. Freeze 1 to 2 hours. Top with the cherry-vanilla ice cream, then freeze until solid, at least 4 hours.
In the last 30 minutes of freezing, make the whipped cream: Whisk the heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla and cocoa powder. Whisk until stiff peaks form. Spread on the pie and garnish with maraschino cherries and some of their syrup. Freeze 30 minutes.
