Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients:
- 2 (96 grams / 3.4 ounces) packages instant coconut cream pudding mix
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) whole milk
- 8 ounces (226 grams) thawed whipped topping, divided use
Coconut Ingredients:
- 1 cup (80 grams) sweetened shredded coconut, divided use
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 (9-inch / 23-centimeter) graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Create a smooth coconut cream pudding mixture by whisking pudding mix with milk until completely blended and free of lumps.
- Gently incorporate whipped topping into the pudding, folding carefully to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Mix in sweetened shredded coconut, distributing evenly throughout the creamy filling.
- Transfer the entire coconut pudding mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 4 hours or ideally overnight, allowing the filling to set firmly and develop rich flavors.
- Meanwhile, prepare toasted coconut by heating in a dry skillet over medium-low temperature, stirring continuously until golden brown and fragrant.
- Remove toasted coconut immediately to prevent burning, transferring to a separate plate to cool and stop the cooking process.
- Once pie is completely chilled and set, generously spread remaining whipped topping across the surface.
- Sprinkle the freshly toasted coconut over the whipped topping as a decorative and flavorful garnish.
- Slice and serve the chilled pie, enjoying the creamy, tropical dessert.
Notes
- Enhance flavor by using full-fat coconut milk instead of regular milk for a richer, more intense coconut taste.
- Prevent soggy crust by letting the graham cracker base cool completely before adding the filling, ensuring a crisp texture.
- Customize dietary needs by using dairy-free whipped topping and gluten-free graham crackers for a vegan and gluten-sensitive version.
- Control coconut toasting by watching carefully and stirring frequently to achieve a golden-brown color without burning, which can turn bitter.
