How to Make Coconut Cream Frozen Dessert

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted margarine. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  4. Let the crust cool completely.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the softened ice cream, milk, and both packages of instant vanilla pudding mix.
  6. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. (If you don't have a mixer, you can use a whisk but it will take longer and require more elbow grease!)
  7. Spread the ice cream mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  8. Top with the thawed whipped topping and toasted coconut flakes.
  9. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to firm up completely.
  10. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly.
