1 stick butter
1 c. flour
1/2 c. chopped pecans or walnuts

Mix until crumbly. Press into spring-form pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and cool.

2ND LAYER:

8 oz. softened cream cheese
1 c. confectioners' sugar
1 c. Cool Whip (dairy style)

Mix together and spread over crumb mixture.

3RD LAYER:

1/2 c. coconut

Sprinkle over 2nd Layer.

4TH LAYER:

2 pkgs. vanilla instant pudding
3 c. cold milk

Mix and spread over 3rd Layer. (If your spring-form pan is large and not filled at this point, repeat from Layer 2.) Otherwise, top with Cool Whip, toasted coconut, and nuts. Freeze overnight. To serve, slice frozen as desired or let thaw approximately 1 hour before serving (may also be decorated with pastel jimmies, instead of nuts and coconut).
