A refreshing frosty dessert layered with shortbread, coconut and pistachios.
Ingredients
1 package shortbread cookies
3⁄4 cup coconut (sweetened, shredded)
1⁄2 cup pistachio nuts (coarsely chopped)
3 cups mango sorbet
3 cups raspberry sorbet
3 cups lemon sorbet
Instructions
- Combine cookie crumbs, flake coconut and pistachios in a medium-size bowl.
- About 30 minutes before starting to prepare the torte, remove the mango sorbet from the freezer and let stand at room temperature until softened enough to be spreadable.
- Spread the softened mango sorbet evenly over bottom of 9 x 13 inch springform pan. Sprinkle with half the crumb mixture. Place in freezer until firm.
- About 30 minutes before adding second layer to torte, remove raspberry sorbet from freezer to soften at room temperature.
- Prepare raspberry layer in same manner as mango layer in Step 3, covering top with remaining crumb mixture. Return to freezer.
- About 30 minutes before adding third layer, remove lemon sorbet from freezer to soften at room temperature.
- Prepare lemon layer as the other two layers, but without the crumbs. Freeze until solid, 4 hours or overnight.
- About 10 minutes before serving, remove the torte from the freezer. Remove the side of the springform pan. Let stand at room temperature until slightly softened.
- If desired, garnish the top of the torte with fresh fruit before serving.
Notes
