Caramel Ice Cream Crunch Filed under ( dessert, ice cream dessert )

I love ice cream desserts! I have been making this particular one for years. My parents especially love it! I like ice cream desserts because you can make them ahead of time and have them ready for company. This has a pralines and cream kind of flavor - really yummy! Don't let the coconut scare you - or put in less if you don't like coconut. I promise this dessert is worth trying!
