Very good pie! I used tropical fruit cocktail, and chopped it up a little before adding to the gelatin-ice cream mixture. I did not add the macaroons, as I forgot to get them when I went to the store, and didn't want to go out again. I don't think it lost anything without them! I also used a shortbread crust and baked it about 20 minutes! Would make this again in a shot. Thnx for posting, Maryland Jim. Made for ZWT5 for RRR.

I made this today for the guys. It was a hit with everyone. I used a graham cracker crust and the 3 of them nearly demolished it all. They all reported loving the taste but for some reason they felt that they would have preferred it without the macaroons. One said they were "soggy" but they didn't look so to me and another just didn't care for the texture in the otherwise smooth pie. The third just kept eating and said that he'd have what the others didn't what, lol. It was easy to make and looked quite pretty coming out of the fridge for dessert with some whipped cream around the edges.
