What better way to pass time 37,000 feet in the air on a Delta flight from Paris to New York? I read airline magazines from cover to cover for foodie-information and crossword puzzles. This time I hit the jackpot with lots of puzzles and an easy-peasy pie in "Delta Sky Magazine". Most of us already have the ingredients in our pantries, so special trips to the super market is not an issue. Don't be alarmed by the cooling time; this is after all, a no-bake cream pie which requires refrigeration to set, prior to serving. Think about making two pies to offer seconds to your family and friends.

How To Make coffee and cream icebox pie

    When ready to serve, mix the hazelnuts with the reserved cookie crumbs and sprinkle over the top of the pie.
