Healthified Coconut Cream Pie

Healthified Coconut Cream Pie
Recipe Tip
What is "Healthified"?
We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.
Success
For the best results, be sure that the crumbs for the crust are finely crushed and resemble graham cracker crumbs. Large particles make it difficult to press the mixture into the pie plate.
Substitution
You can use Honey Nut Cheerios® in the crust if you prefer.
How-To
To toast the coconut, heat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

coconut cream pie
I would substitute sugar free vanilla pudding mix and thereby reduce the sugar grams, there is no taste difference.

Wonderfully delicious
My husband said "delicious" twice when enjoying this pie. It really is great. It's pretty sweet so you could cut down on the sugar in the pie crust easily. It's a super modification of an artery clogging version.

This taste delicious! I used sugar-free instant vanilla pudding which cuts the calories even more and the taste was still excellent! It was just the sweet treat I needed!

Fantastic!
I doubled this and made it in a 10 X 14" pan and took it to a party. It was fantastic and one lady even came back for fourths!! It was very easy to make too. I would definately make this one again.
