No-Bake Coconut Cream Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 (9-oz) graham cracker crust (10-inch)
- 1 (3.4-oz) box coconut instant pudding
- 1 (3.4-oz) box vanilla instant pudding
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 (8-oz) tub of cool whip, thawed
Directions:
- Prepare the Filling
- In a large bowl, combine the milk, heavy cream, coconut instant pudding, vanilla instant pudding, and coconut extract. Using a handheld mixer, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until it begins to thicken.
- Mix in the Coconut
- Let the pudding mixture sit for 4-5 minutes to thicken further. Once thickened, stir in the sweetened shredded coconut, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping
- Gently fold in the thawed cool whip, taking care not to deflate the mixture. The whipped topping will add lightness and volume to the coconut filling.
- Assemble the Pie
- Pour the coconut filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top of the pie to create a beautiful, even layer.
- Chill the Pie
- Garnish the top of the pie with extra toasted coconut, if desired. Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
- Serve and Enjoy
- Once the pie has set, slice and serve! Each bite is filled with creamy coconut goodness and a delightful crunch from the graham cracker crust.
Recipe Notes:
- Toasted Coconut Garnish: For an extra touch of flavor and texture, sprinkle toasted coconut on top of the pie before serving. To toast coconut, spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
- Make it Ahead: This pie can be made a day in advance, making it an ideal dessert for parties and gatherings. Just keep it chilled until ready to serve.
- Variations: Feel free to switch things up by using chocolate or banana pudding for a different flavor profile. You can also use homemade whipped cream instead of cool whip for an even creamier texture.
