Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

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.

You can use Honey Nut Cheerios® in the crust if you prefer.

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.

This was very good! I didn't want to use anything "sugar free" because of the artificial sweeteners that are not good for your body, so I decided I'd just take a few more calories in that section. It was very delicious though, the low fat is a good idea, and nobody noticed!!

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