Mom's Ice Cream Pie
"No, it's not ice fream, but a dessert my mom used to make when we were kids, ages back. It so quick and simple and do not be fooled by the plain ingredients: it's delicious!!! She used Sugar Frosted Flakes for the crust, but that is no longer available (at least not in South Africa)."

This cake is about as kid-friendly as it can possibly get! My husband and I were enjoying a more adult dessert after supper (Recipe #215133), so I quickly made this for the kids. I didn't want to make it dairy so instead of the milk and cream I used two cartons of Rich Whip, and margarine instead of the butter in the crust. I also used chocolate pudding mix because that's what I had in the house. No almond, Sushiman is allergic, so we had Chinese pecans, which are sugared and went perfectly with the pie. I stuck the pie in the back of the freezer for about 2 hours only and it was just fine. I am soooo going to make this again and again, it's so fast and easy and the family adored it! Thanks Zurie!
