Step 1

Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap so it hangs over the sides.

Step 2

Combine the melted ice cream, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk and salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 3

Place the cherries in a smaller bowl and press with a fork until they are mashed and juicy, but still retain some texture. Add one-third of the whipped cream mixture and fold together. Spread evenly into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 4

Add half of the remaining plain whipped cream mixture to a second smaller bowl and fold in the cookies. Spread evenly on top of the cherry layer.

Step 5

Add the pistachios and a few drops of green food coloring to the remaining plain whipped cream mixture and mix until the coloring has dissolved. Spread on top of the cookie layer.

Step 6

Cover and freeze for 4 hours.

Step 7

Using the plastic wrap, lift the ice cream mixture out of the pan. Slice and serve.
