Butter-flavored crackers make the crunchy crust for this frozen take on coconut cream pie. "A mixer works great to easily combine the ice cream, milk and pudding mix," suggests Carol Beamer of Glenville, West Virginia. Try sprinkling chopped nuts or cracker crumbs on top instead of the coconut.

I made this for my mom last weekend. After she took a bite, she said, :You don't have to tell anyone about this one being in my freezer. They can eat the other desserts you are making!" LOL

This dessert is sooooo good....Especially good in the hot summer. Everyone loved it even better than coconut cream pie. I use this crust recipe in similar desserts because it has such a good flavor. You should try this recipe....everyone asks me to make it repeatedly !!!
