5 Ingredients in this Easy Coconut Cream Pie Recipe
- Chilled Golden Oreo Crust (store-bought or homemade)
- Instant coconut pudding mix
- Milk
- Shredded coconut (toasted and untoasted)
- Whipped cream or Cool Whip
It starts with my favorite Oreo Crust recipe, and I used Golden Oreos. That crust recipe works with ANY flavor Oreo and I think that the sweet vanilla taste of a Golden Oreo pairs perfect with coconut. You could also use a shortbread crust or a graham cracker crust, if you prefer – all of my cookie crust recipes are no-bake. If you’re going to the trouble of making a pudding pie, why on earth would you want to bake it?
The filling of the pie is Instant Coconut Pudding Mix. I’ve seen that flavor at 99% of grocery stores, but if you can’t find it, substitute vanilla and add 1 teaspoon of coconut extract.
The pie is topped with toasted coconut. If you’ve never toasted coconut before I’ve got you covered with a tutorial! The nice thing about toasted coconut is that it keeps in the refrigerator for three to four weeks. So, make it ahead to have on hand when you’re ready to make this pie.
How to Make a No Bake Coconut Cream Pie
- Combine the pudding mix and milk together in a large bowl.
- Let it sit until it’s soft-set. This only takes about five minutes.
- Stir in the shredded coconut (untoasted).
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust. Cover and chill the pie for at least three to four hours.
- Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and toasted coconut.
Writing this post has me craving a big o’ piece of this easy coconut cream pie! It’s great for entertaining because you can make it ahead and the leftovers will keep for up to three days in the fridge. If you even have leftovers! We never do – it tends to disappear pretty quick at our house. I bet it will at yours, too!
The hardest part about making this coconut cream pie recipe is not eating it all!

Easy No Bake Coconut Cream Pie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 recipe Golden Oreo Crust Graham Cracker or Shortbread may be substituted, homemade or store bought

- 1 cup toasted coconut for topping
Instructions
- Chill your pie crust recipe while making the filling, if you made it from scratch. No baking necessary! (If you’re making a Golden Oreo crust, no need to remove the filling either.)

Love it. Have made it numerous times and always a hit.
Your instructions says just mix the pudding mix and milk in a bowl. So I’m assuming I do not have to cook it on top of the stove?
You need to use Instant Pudding – that doesn’t need to be cooked.
Can I freeze if we don’t eat it all?
Love love love this recipe! So quick and easy to make! The golden ores crust makes it that much more flavorful
I looked and looked and never found the recipe for the crust for the no bake Oreo crust for the coconut pie.

My husband is very picky about coconut cream or custard pies. He said “this is the best I have ever tasted”. My daughter agreed. The only thing I changed was using Keebler Sandies shortbread cookies because the store did not have the recommended cookie. I let it sit for about an hour in the fridge before adding the other ingredients, then we ate it about 4 hours later.
What would happen to the pudding if I used canned Coconut Milk rather than regular milk? I would think it would still set, and give it even more of a coconut taste. What do you think?
Having coconut in the pudding, whipped topping and the top, plus the coconut extract was more then enough “coconut” flavor
It won’t set up without cows milk – instant pudding needs the proteins in the milk for that. Coconut milk would only work if you used about half the amount, but then the pie wouldn’t be full (so you could add cool whip if you want)
I have prepared this many, many times. It’s soooo easy and tastes delicious! I always receive compliments! YUMMO!!!
Can coconut milk be sub’d for some of the milk ?
