FROZEN CHOCOLATE DESSERT

Category: Frozen Desserts

1 (13 oz) can evaporated milk
1 (10 1/2 oz) pkg miniature marshmallows
1 (6 oz) pkg chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
1 (3 1/2 oz) can flaked coconut
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream (in rectangular block)
1 cup chopped nuts

Combine first 3 ingredients in the top of a double boiler; bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook until chocolate and marshmallows are melted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Combine coconut and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often until coconut is lightly browned. Remove from heat and stir in graham cracker crumbs. Press 3/4ths of the mixture into a 13x9 inch baking dish.

Cut ice cream into inch-thick slices and place over crust. Pour half of cooled chocolate mixture over ice cream; then repeat layers. Combine remaining crumb mixture and nuts. Sprinkle over top of dessert. Cover and freeze until firm. Let stand about 5 minutes before cutting to serve.
