"A frozen dessert combining the sweetness of cherries with the saltiness of pretzels. In Step 3, I freeze overnight. Cooking time is really chilling time. I also like this with pistachio ice cream in place of vanilla. Furthermore, if it's Christmas, the green pistachio ice cream and red cherries give you the Christmas colors. Cooking time shown is actually chilling & freezing times; there is no real cooking time."
