Ice Cream Pudding Dessert

Step 1

Start by removing your ice cream from the freezer to allow it to soften. (Do not let it melt.) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Crush the Ritz crackers with a blender or food processor, or in a plastic baggie to a fine crumb.

Step 3

In a bowl, add the crushed Ritz crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Mix to combine. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.

Step 4

Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool completely.

Step 5

In a large bowl, add the two boxes of instant coconut pudding and the milk. Use a hand mixer to combine. Once smooth, add in the softened ice cream and mix again until smooth. Add about 2 tablespoons of the toasted coconut and stir to combine.

Step 6

Pour this mixture into the cooled prepared crust. Top with the remaining toasted coconut.

Step 7

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours or until ready to serve.
