Tom's "These Are a Few of My Favorite Things" Pie

My son, Tom Dierickx, celebrates his 29th birthday this month. I'm so proud of him - besides working full time as a statistical analyst, he keeps our Healthy Exchanges Website running smoothly, is working o his doctorate in statistics and still finds time to really play with his little girl, Cheyanne. This is the pie I'll be stirring up when we celebrate his birthday.

2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 (6 ounce) Keebler chocolate pie crust
1 (4 serving) package JELL-O sugar free vanilla cook and serve pudding mix
1 (4 serving) package JELL-O sugar free strawberry gelatin
2 1/4 cups water*
1 (4 serving) package sugar free instant white chocolate pudding mix
2/3 cup Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
1/2 cup Cool Whip Free
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon flaked coconut

Evenly arrange strawberries in pie crust. In a medium saucepan, combine dry cook and serve pudding mix, dry gelatin and 1 1/4 cups water. Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and starts to boil, stirring often. Spoon hot mixture evenly over strawberries. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. In a medium bowl, combine dry instant pudding mix, dry milk powder and remaining 1 cup water. Mix well using a wire whisk. Stir in Cool Whip Free and coconut extract. Spread mixture evenly over strawberry filling. Evenly sprinkle chocolate chips and coconut over top. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Cut into 8 servings.
