Lemon Grove Coconut Cream Pie
JoAnna M. Lund

I love my garden, where I raise many vegetables and fruits, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have an entire orchard of fragrant fruit trees. Here's my hymn to lemons in abundance. As Mae West said, too much of a good thing can be wonderful!
Serves 8

2 (4-serving) packages of JELL-O sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (4-serving) package of JELL-O sugar free lemon gelatin
1 1/3 cups Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
2 1/2 cups Diet Mountain Dew
2/3 cup Cool Whip Free
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 (6-ounce) Keebler shortbread piecrust

In a large bowl, combine dry pudding mix, dry gelatin, and dry milk powder. Add Diet Mountain Dew. Mix well using a wire whisk. Blend in Cool Whip Free and coconut extract. Stir in 3 tablespoons coconut. Spread mixture into piecrust. Evenly sprinkle remaining coconut over top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cut into 8 servings.

Each serving equals:
