Cream Pie - Anyway you like it!!!

Oh my...yummy!!  I love simple desserts that dress to impress and this appears to be one of those recipes.

Cream Pie–any way you like it!
submitted by Melanie~The Sisters Cafe

1 small package instant pudding
1 cup milk
1 pint icecream, softened
1 pie shell (ready made or homemade graham or pastry, cooked and cooled)

Beat pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes. Blend softened ice cream into pudding. Pour into a prepared shell that has been baked and cooled. I usually use a graham cracker one because I prefer it over pastry, but either one will work! Chill for at least 2 hours in fridge–I have chilled is quickly in the freezer for 30 minutes-1 hour with great results! You can vary the flavors of pudding and ice cream to get different pies. Always top with a dollop of COOL WHIP and the garnishes you choose. Here are a few ideas to get you started…

*Coconut Cream Pie: coconut pudding, vanilla ice cream, and toasted coconut
*Chocolate Cream Pie: chocolate pudding, chocolate ice cream, and chocolate shavings
*Banana Cream Pie: banana pudding, vanilla ice cream, and fresh banana slices with drizzled caramal topping
*Lemon Cream Pie: lemon pudding, vanilla ice cream, and fresh berries

The sky is the limit! Really with all the ice cream and pudding flavors, you could really get creative!
