While I loved the idea of this dish, I did run into a few obstacles. The base was very difficult to press into the pie dish (sticking to fingers etc) but set very quickly. I would have preferred a biscuit base, as the cereal base was crumbly and very hard to cut evenly, I couldn't get a hold of Cool Whip (being in Australia) and without this, the filling needed something to sweeten it. I added sweetened condensed milk, then gelatine to account for the increased liquidity which basically turned it into a cheesecake. All in all, a reasonable pie.
