Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 (3.4 ounces/96 grams) packages instant coconut cream pudding mix
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) whole milk
- 9-inch graham cracker crust
Coconut Components:
- 1 cup (80 grams) sweetened shredded coconut
Topping Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip)
Instructions
- Prepare the silky coconut cream pudding mixture by whisking pudding mix with milk until achieving a velvety, lump-free consistency.
- Gently fold whipped topping into the pudding base, creating a light and airy texture that ensures a creamy pie filling.
- Incorporate sweetened shredded coconut into the mixture, distributing evenly to infuse tropical flavor throughout the filling.
- Transfer the luxurious coconut cream mixture into the graham cracker crust, carefully spreading to create an even layer that reaches the edges.
- Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 4 hours or ideally overnight, allowing the filling to set and develop a rich, smooth texture.
- Create a golden, aromatic topping by carefully toasting remaining coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Remove pie from refrigerator and crown with a generous layer of whipped topping, creating an elegant, cloud-like surface.
- Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the whipped topping for a crunchy, caramelized garnish that adds texture and visual appeal.
- Slice and serve the chilled pie, revealing its creamy layers and inviting tropical essence.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of whipped topping for a lighter or richer texture.
- Experiment with different crusts like chocolate or almond to add unique flavor profiles.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with coconut milk and use vegan whipped topping alternatives.
- Toast coconut carefully to enhance nutty flavors without burning, watching closely and stirring constantly.
