Ingredients

  • 1 recipe Golden Oreo Crust  (Graham Cracker or Shortbread may be substituted, homemade or store bought)
  • 2 boxes (3.4 ounces each) Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix (or instant coconut pudding)
  • 3 ½ cups (830ml) whole milk (see note)
  • 2 cups (160g) shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1-2 cups  Cool Whip or Fresh Whipped Cream for topping
  • 1 cup (70g) toasted coconut for topping

Instructions

  • Chill your pie crust recipe while making the filling, if you made it from scratch.
  • Add pudding mix to a large bowl. Add milk and whisk until smooth. If using coconut pudding, the mixture will be slightly lumpy from the coconut in the pudding mix.) Let sit for 5 minutes until soft set. Stir in coconut. Pour into pie crust. Cover and chill for at least 3-4 hours.
  • Before serving, top with whipped cream or whipped topping and toasted coconut. Store covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

    • Use whole milk for best results! The more fat in the milk, the thicker the pudding. If you're worried about the pie not setting up, whole milk is the way to go. I've made this with nonfat milk, but it's much thinner.
    • Can I use a pastry crust? If you want a traditional flaky pie crust instead of a no-bake cookie crust, then you can use my all butter pie crust recipe and blind bake it before adding the filling.
    • To substitute freshly whipped cream, beat 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and a teaspoon vanilla extract and beat until stiff peaks form.
    • If you can't find coconut pudding mix: Sometimes I can find it, sometimes I can't. If you can only find instant vanilla pudding mix then you can add 1 teaspoon coconut extract to the pudding with the milk in step 1.
