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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right coconut cream. Use full-fat coconut cream for a rich and creamy dessert. You can find coconut cream in cans or cartons in the Asian section of most grocery stores.
  • Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans will give your crust a better flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh pecans, you can use store-bought chopped pecans.
  • Don't overcook the coconut cream mixture. The coconut cream mixture should be thick and bubbly, but not too thick. If you overcook it, the mixture will become too thick and grainy.
  • Chill the dessert before serving. Chilling the dessert will help it set and firm up. You can chill the dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Conclusion:

This coconut cream dessert with pecan crust is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy coconut filling and the crunchy pecan crust are a perfect combination. This dessert is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
