Good recipe. I added 1/2 cup flaked coconut because I didn't have coconut extract. It did give it a little coconut flavor but not much. Had it had a chance to be in the fridge for very long it might have tasted more like it. I also used every one of the fat-free items as mentioned and it was great. Sprinkled a dash a cinnamon and one of nutmeg on top just for looks.

This dip is delicious! Very easy to make! I added a little bit more coconut extract than it called for but it didnt make too much of a difference. Absolutely nummy!
