I madethis for a playgroup party and everyone (including the kids) loved it. I did not add the coconut or pecans to it and it was still great. I used whatever fruit I could find- kiwi, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, grapes and it was great. The crust is awesome and so easy. I made the crust the night before and covered it with plastic wrap. Definitely a great fresh recipe!

What can I say? DELISH! The only change I made was to use kiwi fruit instead of mangoes, and left off the coconut. Even my picky husband had several pieces! Thanks so much for posting.

I made this for a friends party in a 9x12 pan and it was gone in about 10 minutes. Not everyone got to try it. It was perfect. I just received an email from a friend that was told by a person that was there that they want this receipe. 5 star rating. I suggest making a double batch.
