You can easily make this diabetic friendly by using sugar free vanilla pudding in place of the coconut cream and by adding 3 teaspoons of the coconut extract instead of one. Increase the coconut flakes to 1 cup. Replace the regular cool whip for the lite cool whip. Now you have a diabetic friendly dessert perfect for your loved ones.
*Note additional time is for chilling the pie.
