Ingredients
  • Pineapple Sherbet: (you may use store-bought sherbet if you would like)
  • ½ can crushed pineapples
  • 1 TBSP pineapple juice
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 TBSP coconut juice
  • 2 TBSP lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 quart of buttermilk
  • The Crust:
  • ½ stick unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅔ cup shelled pistachios
  • 1 cup finely ground graham-cracker crumbs (12-14 Keebler Graham Crackers)
  • 4 TBSP sugar
  • 1 TBSP grated lemon zest
  • Chocolate Layer:
  • 16 ounces of Dove Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate Pieces or 2 bars of Dove Dark Chocolate
Instructions
  1. For the Sherbet:
  2. Combine all ingredients except for the buttermilk into in a large sauce pan. Heat just until the sugar is dissolved. Remove and allow to cool completely. Stir in the buttermilk and then place into a freezer safe container. Cover and freeze for 1 hour. Stir every hour for 3 hours.
  3. For the Crust:
  4. Mix together in a large bowl your graham cracker crumbs, pistachio crumbs, butter and sugar. Press into a parchment lined 8x8 pan. Place in freezer for just 10-15 minutes until very firm. Then gently spread your sherbet onto the crust. Put it back into the freezer for another 30 minutes until firm. Melt your chocolate in a double broiler on medium to low heat stirring until the chocolate is completely melted. Immediately pour over the pineapple sherbet layer-spread to all four corners. Wrap your pan tightly in plastic wrap and return to the freezer for another 30 minutes. Cut and serve cold on a nice hot summer day!
