Here are a couple of tips for making this easy pie recipe:
- Make sure you use actual Cool Whip and not just whipped cream. The pie won’t set up as well with whipped cream.
- Be sure to use the lemon juice. It’s what sets the pie and there really isn’t any other substitute for it.
- If you don’t like coconut, you can use marshmallows.
- You don’t have to garnish the top with extra whipped cream, cherries and nuts but it does make a pretty presentation.
- This recipe literally takes 5 minutes to make if you are using a pre-made pie crust. If you make your own graham cracker crust, you need to add about 5 more minutes.
