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).

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• Crust

• 4  cups  frosted flakes, sweet sugared cereal, such as Frosties
• 6  tablespoons  very soft butter (about)

• Filling

• 1  cup  whole milk (8 fluid oz)
• 1  cup  fresh cream
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  almond essence
• 1 (3 1/2ounce) box vanilla instant pudding mix
• 2  ounces  almonds, flaked, oasted in a pan until golden

Directions

1. Crust:
2. Crush the sugared cereal with a rolling pin or use your processor, and mix it with the butter. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
3. Using a medium sized pie plate, spread the crumb mixture evenly in the bottom and up the sides, and press down firmly to form a crust. Neaten the edges, and place in freezer to firm.
4. Filling:
5. Mix milk and cream in a mixing bowl and add the almond essence. Sprinkle over the instant pudding mix and whisk well.
6. Pour this mixture into the prepared crust.
7. Freeze the pie for about 4 hours or longer, until firm. (Don't freeze until rock hard).
8. Before serving, take it out and let defrost somewhat. Scatter the toasted almonds on top.
