Lanas Wonderful mystery layered dessert!

Here is how this came about: I wanted to make something

scrumptious using ONLY what I had in refrigerator and pantry.

It is SO easy, I am just describing in detail so it seems long.

BTW, JB flipped over this!! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 package dessert shells. (like people use for little strawberrie

short cakes)

Chocolate (shell) sauce like for over ice cream that hardens.

Custard:

~~~~~~~~~

2 cups half-and-half

2 eggs (beaten well)

2/3 cup white sugar

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 ounce bar cream cheese-softened

1 cup flaked coconut, toasted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 ounces toasted and chopped macadamia nuts

1 cup toasted coconut

Frozen whipped topping, thawed (about 2 1/2 cups)

Directions

To start lay the dessert shells in the bottom of a dish about 8 X 8" (if they lap over it will not hurt anything).

Put in the freezer while you prepare the custard layer.

(when cool, cover the shells with Chocolate (shell) sauce)

For Custard:

In a medium saucepan, combine half-and-half, eggs, sugar, flour and salt.

Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Add cream cheese. Stir and blend well!

Remove from heat, and stir in 1/2 cup of the coconut and the vanilla extract.

Mix well and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

when cooled slightly:

Put 1 layer of the custard over the shells and chocolate.

Put a thin layer of macadamia nuts

Now put whipped topping, and coconut.

Just keep going until all gone.

Top with more whipped topping and coconut.. a little chocolate shell or chocolate curls.You also may dust with cocoa powder if desired.

To toast coconut, spread it in an ungreased pan and bake in a 350 degree F oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

(CAUTION..it burns easily!)

Chill 2 to 4 hours, or until firm.
