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).
