Recipe Introduction


This elegant, crunchy dessert is so easy that you'll want to make it often. The coconut extract will make think I had you open a whole package of coconut and throw it in, but I didn't! It just tastes that way.
Serves 8





List of Ingredients



• 12 (2 1/2") graham cracker squares*
  
• 1 (4 serving) package sugar free instant butterscotch pudding mix
  
• 2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
  
• 1 2/3 cups water
  
• 1 oz chopped pecans (1/4 cup)*
  
• 3 tablespoons shredded coconut*
  
• 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  
• 1 cup Cool Whip Lite
  






Instructions



1. Place 9 of the graham cracker squares on the bottom of a 9x9 cake pan. In a medium bowl combine pudding mix and dry milk powder. Add water. Mix well using a wire whisk. Blend in 3 tablespoons pecans, 2 tablespoons shredded coconut and coconut extract. Pour pudding mixture over graham crackers and spread evenly. Cover and chill several hours. Just before serving, spread Cool Whip evenly over pudding mixture. Crush remaining 3 graham cracker squares into crumbs. In small bowl combine graham cracker crumbs, remaining 1 tablespoon pecans and remaining 1 tablespoon shredded coconut. Sprinkle mixture evenly over top of dessert.
