Mom's Pistachio Torte

Possibly the greatest dessert.

This is the dessert that my mom is asked to bring to every holiday. This Thanksgiving I spent 7 hours making that famous Milk Bar Pumpkin Ganache Pie and this torte still blew it out of the water.

Ingredients

  • Ritz crackers   (60 crackers)
  • Butter, melted   (¾ cups)
  • Instant pistachio pudding   (6.8 oz)
  • Cool Whip   (8 oz)
  • Milk   (1 ½ cups)
  • Vanilla ice cream, softened   (1 quart)
  • Heath Bars, crushed   (3 bars)

Instructions

  1. Combine crackers and butter. Press into a 9x13 pan.

  2. Combine pudding mix and milk together.

  3. Add ice cream into pudding mixture. Blend with a beater until just combined. Do not over-mix.

  4. Pour pudding/ice cream mixture into the pan on top of the crackers.

  5. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

  6. Spread cool whip over top.

  7. Sprinkle with heath bar pieces.

  8. Refrigerate again for 5 hours.
