Good crust! I toasted the coconut a little bit before adding it, and I also had to add more butter- probably about 4-5T total, and it was still a little dry, but it tasted great. I made it for the Key Lime Pie recipe that's on the bottle of Joe and Nellie's Key Lime juice. Topped that w/ whipped cream that I'd added 3T of instant vanilla pudding to... turned out really delicious!

I was making Super Easy Coconut Cream Pie for our Valentine's Day dinner at church and was having an awful time with my regular pie crust recipe so I decided that I needed a graham cracker crust for the second pie. Because I can't have wheat, I substituted crushed up cookie crumbs for the graham crackers and like another reviewer did need additional butter to make the crust stick together a little better. But all, in all this was a good crust and I will use it again. Thanks for posting this.

Yummy! I made this with Low Fat Low Calorie Cool 'n Easy Pie!, Low Fat Low Calorie Cool 'n Easy Pie, using this crust instead of the pre-prepared one called for in the recipe. I also used regular Jello. As good as the pie filling was, this crust stole the show; it was absolutely delicious! Mmmmmmmm!! I can't wait to make this again, and next time I'm going to try a coconut cream pie. This recipe was a snap to make, too. Thanks for posting. Recipes like this show me yet again why I love the 'zaar so much.

If I could give you 5 stars 3x over I would. You and LDJ (LDJ recommended this recipe for Easy Blueberry Cream Pie #43215.) I made it and two other pies one with raspberries, added some pecans to the crust; and the other was with pineapple topping all 3 with the cream cheese filling and your so yummy pie crust.
