Pistachio Pie

In honor of Pi Day, I set out to create a pie that worked for Saint Patrick's Day as well, a
nd came upon this recipe for Frozen Pistachio Pie. If you are a pistachio lover like me, I hope you enjoy this.

Updated - After trying the frozen version of this pie that uses 2 cups of softened ice cream, I have to say I don't recommend it. Instead, I would use 2 cups of cool whip. It turns out the ice cream version of this basically tasted like melted ice cream that had been refrozen, not good if you have ever tried that. That said, I still think this is a delicious pie. The graham crackers and toffee taste great with pistachio and I will definitely make this again, just modified as seen below.
