Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 8 oz container whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 14 oz can coconut cream
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Additional whipped topping and toasted coconut for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, milk, instant vanilla pudding mix, and vanilla extract until smooth. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Pour this mixture over the cream cheese layer and spread it evenly.
  4. Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping, smoothing it out to cover completely. Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the top.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the layers to set properly.
  6. Before serving, you can garnish with additional whipped topping and toasted coconut if desired. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Add a layer of fresh fruit, such as sliced bananas or strawberries, between the cream cheese layer and the pudding layer for added flavor and texture.
