Transfer to a blender; cover and process until smooth. Pour into a bowl.
Refrigerate 30 minutes, until cooled, stirring occasionally.
Remove crust from freezer. Spread with half of the ice cream. Set aside 1/4
cup cranberry puree. Pour remaining puree over ice cream. Set aside 1
tablespoon nuts; sprinkle remaining nuts over puree. Freeze 30 minutes,

tablespoon nuts. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze 6 hours, until firm.
