Totally awesome and easy. We used this for my daughters wedding. I made bite sized ones with mini nilla wafers, and mini muffin cups. I used strawberry cool whip and mini chocolate chips on top and they were a huge hit. Also using a pastry bag to pipe the mix in works great! We made them ahead and froze them. I'll be using this in lemon flavor for my parents anniversary.

Yummy! I make this often. I use less sugar (2-3 Tbsp.) and a little less Cool Whip is good too (2 cups or so). Everyone raves about it... I'm embarrassed b/c it's just TOO easy. That's a good thing, of course! I top with sprinkles or coconut.

This is great... my family & co staff loved it. I've been making it very often lately cause my girl loves it so much. I used lesser sugar & subsituded the coconut flake with crashed oreo. This is very easy & tasty... yummy yummy..

Way to easy and always a big hit. Leave off topping and set out cherries & pinneapples for your guest to top themselves.

These tasty little bites were easy to make and fun to switch up the toppings on. I made the Healthy Living version and laid out various topping choices like caramel and chocolate sauces, fruit, etc for people to create their own desserts. Everyone really enjoyed it.

Have made this several times for brunch. Very popular! Have changed the topping to chocolate syrup, fruit, anything that sounds good. It's a hit

I topped them with coolwhip and berries instead of coconut, so they looked like wee fruit tarts. I made them in my mini cupcake pans so they made way more than 12. The nilla wafers weren't really the right size for the bottom of the cupcake papers, and they kinda sank in the centers, but they were yummy anyway!

I just finished makeing these cute little cheesecake cups. I omited the coconut and replaced it with blueberry and cherry pie filling because it's for a 4th of July thing. I'm having a big party in a couple months and I can not wait to make them again. These have got to be the easiest best tasting thing to make quick and take anywhere you need to go.
