- 1, 1.5 oz pkg Jello brand Vanilla pudding, Sugar Free & Fat Free
- 2, 1 oz pkg Jello brand Vanilla pudding, Sugar Free & Fat Free
- 2 3/4 cup cold, Fat Free milk
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- 1 bag sweetened shredded coconut
- 1, 8 oz container of Lite Cool Whip, 50% less fat
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust, 9 or 10 inch shell. I used Keebler brand
- In a large bowl open all 3 packs of instant pudding, add cold milk and coconut extract. Whisk with wire whisk for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened and mixed thoroughly.
- Fold in frozen cool whip with 1/2 cup of coconut. Mix well until completely blended. Then spread evenly into pie crust, mounding slightly in center if need be. Refrigerate while toasting coconut.
- Toast 1 cup or so of coconut in a large nonstick pan ( I prefer a ceramic pan), over medium high heat stirring constantly until it is a nice golden brown. You will need to lower heat once it starts toasting. Place on a plate to cool.
- Once coconut has cooled top the pie with the toasted coconut, cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until the next day.
