    Dream Whip has a very different consistency than Cool Whip. With Dream Whip the pie has a stiff fluffy cream pie texture and less calories. Cool Whip may produce a much runnier pie and adds lots of calories. Dream Whip is the key ingredient for fluffiness and for making it LOWER in calories. - 3/20/08

    This recipe is AMAZING!!! You can take out the coconut and use other flavorings or change out the vanilla pudding for different flavor to add variety. I make a different dream pie every week. - 1/6/09

    I would love to try this...can anyone tell me how to toast the coconut and graham crackers? - 1/7/09

    Reply from ELAINEHN (1/9/09)
    I toast the coconut by spreading it out on a large cookie sheet or jelly roll pan and placing it in a very low oven (300f or 350f) for a few minutes. I don't know the exact time (maybe 5-10 mintues)I just keep checking on it and stirring it around occasionally untill it gets lightly brown.

    This sounds amazing! I can already see myself changing it up with banana pudding, chocolate, vanilla...I even have a few boxes of pumpkin spice pudding mix left over from the fall (although I may omit the coconut for that). Thanks and I can't wait to try! - 5/27/09

    sounds good I might try to change this recipe a little by using a light cool whiip and omitting the milk & dream whip - 12/2/07

    Cool Whip Free is not the same as Dream Whip ... using it will definitely change the calorie content as well as the finished texture of the pie - it won't be as 'stiff' or have the more 'authentic' cream pie texture. But i bet it will still taste yummy! Enjoy!

    So delicious!! I made this for my mom's birthday, and she loved it. Everybody was commenting on how flavorful and rich it was, and nobody had a clue that it was so low-cal! Thank you so much, will definitely make this again! - 8/21/10

    I have made my version of this for years and never got a runny pie with the cool whip. I use less milk with the puddings. I also use SF Fat free cheesecake pudding . LIttle boys love it with chocolate pudding... - 7/31/12

    This recipe is quite delicious. I liked it without with the crust, so it's like a dessert instead of a pie. - 3/5/12

    I loved this dessert, but then I love coconut. My hubby can't stand it. So, I put the mousse in small bowls just for a treat for me. - 4/23/10

    I thought it was very good. A little sweet but still good. I did it in dessert bowls without the crust. Next time I might add a touch more milk. - 1/7/09

    Use fat free cool whip, skim milk instead of dream whip and you can either use a reduced fat crust OR make your own with reduced fat graham crackers and Olivio spray. - 1/24/08

    This is delicious! I served it in a ceramic pie plate without a crust. I liked that I could have a larger serving size without the crust. :-) - 3/19/13

    Are you saying you cut the pie in 12 rather than 8? That would be hard to do? What would the nutritional values be if you used 8 now that I just got a pie 8 divider. No rating yet It isin the refrigerator for 4 hours now. Bigger than Joanna Lund recipes - 3/14/13

    This sounds really good, but I think I might make a mint dream pie instead since my daughter doesn't like coconut. I'll halve it too and just make little dessert cups. Maybe top with a couple crushed thin mints. - 3/14/13

    This definitely satisfied my sweet tooth. I took the tip of not using a pie shell and sprinkled the graham crumbs on top. It was Perfect! Thanks for Sharing . I am not sure on how the calories were caculated. I counted 117 minus the graham crust . Still worth every bite. - 1/29/13

    This was very good but for some reason I had a really difficult time mixing in the coconut extract. It became brown & clumpy &I had a difficult time incoorporating it into the pie filling. Even after refrigerating it for 4 hours, there were still bites of pie that were bitter and tasted like alcohol - 6/2/12
