Instructions
Heat oven to 350F. In food processor bowl with metal blade, combine vanilla wafers and 1/2 cup of the cashews; process until finely ground.
Add butter; process just until crumbly. Press mixture in bottom and up side of 9-inch glass pie pan.
Bake at 350F. for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Refrigerate crust for 20 minutes or until completely cooled.
Spread 1 pint of the ice cream in cooled crust. Spoon or drizzle 1/2 cup of the ice cream topping over ice cream. Freeze about 30 minutes or until partially frozen.
Top pie with remaining pint ice cream, spreading evenly. Freeze at least 4 hours or until firm.
To serve, let pie stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Cut into wedges; place on individual dessert plates. Top with remaining ice cream topping and cashew halves.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Ice Cream can be paired with Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
