Kathy Barber's Cream Pie

Ummmm...what's your fav? Banana Cream, Chocolate, Coconut... Thank's Kathy for a well used recipe (think Girls Camp, CCT carrier prizes)

1 baked pie shell (Marie Callender's or AllReady Pie Crust works fine)

Prick the raw pie shell well with a fork and weight it down so it doesn't slide down the sides of the pie pan while baking. (I have some foil I squished up in pie pan shapes that I set inside the crust)
Anyone looking at this post might wonder how delicious a pie filled with aluminum could be!

Filling:1 pkg. any flavor(usually vanilla or chocolate) instant pudding mix

(6 serving size...originally the recipe used the small box, but the larger one fills the pie better)

1 1/2 C milk

1 1/2 C ice cream

Mix in a blender or electric mixer and pour immediately into baked crust.

Banana Cream: Slice a banana into the pie shell before filling with vanilla pudding mix

Chocolate Cream: Use chocolate pudding, of course. You could use chocolate ice cream; but vanilla works fine...sometimes I add a couple of tablespoons of Nestles Quik.
Coconut Cream: add 1/2 C coconut to the blended pudding mix. Any other variations?

Let set in refrigerator 5 or 10 minutes; then top with whipped cream or Cool Whip.
