     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

    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 cut the recipe in half because I live alone and did not use a crust to save on calories. I also had some lite coconut milk on hand and used that in place of the skim milk. Found you don't need to each much of this to feel satisfied. Really liked it! - 2/1/14

     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

     Wonderful Pie. Friends loved it. Felt like I was really cheating.
    Will make this one again.
    Thanks for the recipe. - 2/27/12

     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 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 love the lower calorie hint at the end! Great options! - 1/31/10

     I made this today for the first time, and think it is absolutely delicious...very rich and filling, and lends itself well to a variety of variations.

    Thanks Elaine for sharing this recipe with us...it's definitely a keeper. - 6/23/09

     I made this without the crust. I just filled 12 individual dessert dishes with the pudding mixture. It is so good. My husband loves it, too! - 5/4/09

     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
