No Bake Coconut Cream Cheese Pie That Tastes Like You Spent All Day Baking

This No-Bake Coconut Cream Cheese Pie is a cool and creamy dessert made with coconut cream pudding, softened cream cheese, whipped topping, and toasted coconut. The filling goes into a ready-made graham cracker crust, making this an easy make-ahead dessert when you do not want to heat up the kitchen. You can also prepare the optional vanilla-wafer coconut crust included below. The homemade crust requires 10 minutes in the oven and must cool completely before the filling is added. Aunt Sandy’s version has layers of coconut flavor and a light cream cheese topping that balances the sweet pudding filling. Refrigerate the pie for at least three hours, then add the toasted coconut just before serving for extra flavor and texture. 📝 FULL PRINTABLE RECIPE: https://www.auntsandykitchen.com/reci...

Set the cream cheese out ahead of time and allow it to soften to room temperature. 2. If necessary, microwave the unwrapped cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl for approximately 10 seconds, or just until slightly softened. Do not melt it. 3. Stir or beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Divide it into two equal portions. 👩‍🍳 Prepare the Optional Vanilla-Wafer Crust 1. Skip these crust-making steps when using a ready-made graham cracker crust. 2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). 3. Combine the finely crushed vanilla wafers, melted butter, and ¼ cup flaked coconut. 4. Press the crumb mixture firmly across the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. 5. Bake for 10 minutes. Place the crust on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before adding the filling. 👩‍🍳 Make the Coconut Filling 1. Place both packages of instant pudding mix in a large mixing bowl. Add 2 cups of cold milk and whisk for 2 minutes, or until the pudding begins to thicken. 2. Add one half of the softened cream cheese. Beat or whisk until the cream cheese is thoroughly incorporated and the mixture is smooth. 3. Fold ¾ cup flaked coconut and 1 cup of the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture. 4. Spoon the coconut filling into the cooled crust and spread it evenly. 👩‍🍳 Make the Cream Cheese Topping 1. Place the remaining half of the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl. 2. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 tablespoon cold milk. Beat until smooth and creamy. 3. Gently fold in the remaining whipped topping until evenly combined. 4. Spread the cream cheese topping evenly over the coconut filling. 5. Chill and Garnish 1. Cover the pie and refrigerate it for at least 3 hours, or until completely chilled and firm enough to slice. 2. Place the remaining ¾ cup coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Cook while stirring frequently until lightly golden. Immediately transfer it to a plate to cool. 3. Sprinkle the cooled toasted coconut over the pie just before serving. 4. Cut the chilled pie into 8 slices and serve cold. Enjoy! 🛒 SHOP MY KITCHEN: ⚠️ These are affiliate links.
