This was really good, but I don't think it really needs the crust. All it adds is some crunch, not taste. Next time i will make it without . I am invisioning other combinations . It has great possibilities. I didn't want one big dessert so I divided it up in small ramikens, and after it was froze I put them in zip lock bags. I also made only half of the recipe since its only 2 of us. Now we have ice cream dessert to look forward to several more times.
