    Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons butter. Add coconut and pecans. Cook and stir over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sweet potatoes, and condensed milk; beat until smooth. Fold in the dessert topping. Spread one-fourth of the mixture into each of the crumb crusts. Drizzle each with one-fourth of the ice cream topping and sprinkle with one-fourth of the coconut mixture. Repeat layers. Cover; freeze about 4 hours or until firm. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving. Makes 20 servings.
