CHEW THE RIGHT THING

BITE IT!

HG's Crazy-Amazing Coconut Cream Pie

Pie'd and Gone to Heaven

Your days of simply gazing at whipped creamtopped coconut desserts are

over. Our Crazy-Amazing Coconut Cream Pie has arrived. Chew, people,

CHEW!!!

Ingredients:

For Crust

1 cup Fiber One Original bran cereal

2 sheets (8 crackers) low-fat honey graham crackers, broken into pieces

3 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)  

1/4 cup light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)

For Filling and Topping

1 1/2 cups fat-free milk

1/2 tsp. coconut extract

One 6-serving box Jell-O Sugar Free Fat Free Vanilla Instant pudding mix

2 cups Cool Whip Free, thawed and divided

1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. shredded sweetened coconut, divided

Directions:  

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large pie pan lightly with nonstick

spray and set aside.

Place cereal and graham cracker pieces in a blender or food processor, and

grind to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add

Splenda and set aside.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine butter with 2 tbsp. water.

Microwave until just melted. Add to the medium bowl and stir contents until

thoroughly mixed.

Evenly distribute crust mixture along the bottom of the pie pan, using your

hands or a flat utensil to firmly press and form the crust. Press it into the

edges and up along the sides of the pan.

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

To make the filling, pour milk into a large bowl. Add coconut extract and

pudding mix and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gently fold 1 cup Cool

Whip into pudding mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup shredded coconut.

Once crust has cooled and filling has thickened, evenly spread filling into the

crust. Spread remaining 1 cup Cool Whip over the filling. Refrigerate until

completely chilled and set, at least 1 hour.

For a toasted coconut topping (optional), bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick

spray to medium heat on the stove, and add remaining 2 tbsp. shredded

coconut. Stirring occasionally, cook for about 4 minutes, or until lightly

browned. Allow to cool.

Just before serving, sprinkle toasted or un-toasted shredded coconut over

the pie. Cut into 8 slices and enjoy!

FIGHT IT!

Coconut Cream Pie, Average

Coconut Scream Pie!

The problem with cream pie? It's a pie FILLED with CREAM... and SUGAR...

and its gooey filling sits on top of a FAT-PACKED crust! So, it shouldn't really

come as a surprise that this kind of pie clocks in with alarmingly high calorie

and fat stats. But the coconut cream kind, in particular, is CRAZY high in fat.

Coconut itself is fatty by nature. And it isn't inherently sweet like, say,

peachesso it requires LOTS of sugar to sweeten it to pie standards. Pssst...

We have a secret. (OK, so it's not much of a secret considering we're

emailing it to around a million people, but that doesn't make it any less cool.)

Our coconut cream pie is made with creamy low-cal pudding, dreamy fat-

free whipped stuff, and... well, COCONUT. (There's no getting around that.)

The result is so delicious it'll leave you begging for more... and not feeling

one bit embarrassed about it when you do.

CHEW ON THIS:

Today, August 17th, is National Vanilla Custard Day. That sounds a little dull

to us. How about we add coconut... and put it in a pie crust... and top it with

Cool Whip?! It might look something like this...
