Shelwood's Another Easy Dessert

The person who gave me this recipe insisted it only be made with French Vanilla ice cream and chocolate pudding (a fine combo), but it's really infinitely flexible. Use vanilla ice cream to play up the pudding flavor, vanilla pudding to emphasize the ice cream or sherbet flavor, or have fun combining flavors. I like dulce de luche ice cream with chocolate pudding. The finished filling is mousse-like.

1 half-gallon ice cream or equivalent (froyo, sherbet)
1 lg (5.9 oz) pkg instant pudding
1 9" deep dish pie shell (graham cracker or other) OR 2 8" pie shells
Whipped cream or non-dairy whipped topping

Let ice cream melt completely. Mix melted ice cream with pudding mix (Optional: Add up to 1 tsp vanilla or other extract or any liquor or liqueur for added flavor). Beat for 2 minutes, per package directions. Pour into pie shell(s). Chill for an hour. Top with whipped cream.

Oh, this sounds wonderful! And so simple! I'll have to give it a try. (Examorata here, she who still doesn't have a blogger account.)
