INGREDIENT NOTES

Pudding mix:

  • Instant pudding can be made sugar-free to reduce the points. Coconut and vanilla go well together.

Milk:

  • The almond milk is unsweetened and therefore light. Skim milk can be used, although points can be raised.

Coconut:

  • Unsweetened maintains the amount of sugar but retains with an original taste.

Whipped topping:

  • Fat-free Cool Whip is used to make the pie set and give it creaminess.

Crust:

  • A low-fat graham cracker crust is a nice trick, and supports the filling.

Toasted coconut:

  • Gives the pie a pretty appearance as well as a nice crunch.
