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.

32 Ritz crackers (1 sleeve)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup margarine, melted
2 quarts vanilla ice cream
1 (6 ounce) box vanilla pudding mix

Tips:

  • Ensure the Ritz crackers are finely crushed to achieve a smooth and even texture in the crust.
  • Use a high-quality unsweetened coconut milk for a rich and creamy pudding filling. Coconut milk with a higher fat content will yield a thicker and more decadent pudding.
  • Sweeten the pudding to your desired taste. The amount of sugar can be adjusted to suit your preference.
  • For a smoother pudding, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the crust. This will remove any lumps or graininess.
  • Chill the pudding for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set properly. This will result in a firm and creamy texture.
  • Garnish the pudding with additional whipped cream, shredded coconut, or fresh berries for an elegant presentation.
