Note

Ensure the pie plate is well-greased to prevent the macaroon crust from sticking.

For best results, soften the ice cream and sherbet before spreading to ensure smooth layers.

This pie can be stored in the freezer for up to one month. Keep it tightly covered to prevent freezer burn.

You can substitute coconut macaroon crumbs for regular macaroon crumbs for a more intense coconut flavor.

If the crust seems too dry, add an extra teaspoon of melted butter or Crisco.
