Your assumption of how good, or not, this pie is should not be made until several hours or even the next day after the ingredients have had time to meld the flavors. Although, the only ingredients I did not have were whole wheat flour and organic graham crackers, this, I believe, may or may not make a subtle difference in flavor somewhat, but will change the nutritional facts. I used traditional unbleached/AP flour and regular graham crackers.One sleeve was more than enough. After the pie had been in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, I tried a small piece and thought, this is a diet pie....just, okay. However, I tried it again a few hours later and it was even better. The next day, I could tell very little difference in this pie and a good traditional coconut cream pie. I would definitely make this pie again. One note: DO NOT USE A FULL TEASPOON OF SALT! I use sea salt and barely used 1/2 t. and could tell it was there. I will cut back a little more the next time I make it.

From someone who HAS to watch their sugar...this was an excellant pie. My husband couldnt even taste the Stevia I used in the filling and the whipping cream. We both agreed that we have tasted a lot of foods that are sugarfree and dont taste good at all. This one, however, is pretty darn close to the real thing. I didnt have any organic or gluten free items. An entire box of regular graham crackers is WAY to much for one 9in pie pan. I would only use half a box. We like putting the crust crumbles on the top of the pie too. I used the whole wheat flour and it turned the filling a bit brown with wheat flecks throughout. It didnt change the taste though. I agree that the salt needs to be cut to a 1/2 tsp, too. 1 teaspoon makes the filling quite salty. We love vanilla so i used 2 teaspoons. Again we agree with the previous review, the pie was soooooo much better the second day. It is so close to a real coconut pie. I will definately make this again.
