This is a great recipe! I cut the fat down by using no-fat cream cheese, low-fat whipped topping, and leaving off the coconut. It was still tasty, and my husband loved it! I'll give it five stars. saunfcake

This was a really great tasting and simple recipe. The only change I made was to leave off the coconut.....can't stand the stuff. Thanks!
