Description
A tropical No-Bake Coconut Cream Pie with a buttery crust, creamy coconut filling, and whipped cream topping, perfect for a sweet and refreshing treat.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (or homemade)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant coconut cream pudding mix
1 1/2 cups coconut milk (full-fat)
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for topping)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the whipped cream: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
- Make the coconut filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut cream pudding mix and coconut milk until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the shredded coconut and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the coconut filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Top the pie with the whipped cream, smoothing it out to cover the filling completely.
- Toast the coconut: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the extra shredded coconut until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Sprinkle the toasted coconut on top of the whipped cream for a decorative touch and extra flavor.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
- Serve: Once chilled and set, slice the pie, and enjoy this creamy, coconut-packed treat!
Notes
- This pie can be made ahead and chilled for up to 2 days before serving.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free graham cracker crust or a gluten-free cookie crust.
- You can substitute the coconut milk with coconut cream for a thicker, richer filling.
- Add a layer of chocolate ganache on the bottom for a chocolate coconut cream pie variation.
