  1. Excellent, easy to make, my family raved about it. A few changes that worked for me: For the crust, I used about 1 cup of the bpxed Oreo crumbs that are usually found by graham cracker crumbs as it's getting harder to find choc. wafer cookies. Also, rather than pipe whipped cream around the top, I drizzled melted chocolate and then sprinkled the toasted coconut.
