A delightful Coconut Cream Layered Dessert with layers of creamy richness that promises a taste of paradise in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup shredded coconut, toasted (reserve some for garnish)
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 3.4 oz package of instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, pressing firmly into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden, then cool completely.
  2. Beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with toasted coconut.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, coconut milk, and regular milk until thickened. Pour this layer over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Top with remaining whipped cream and sprinkle with reserved toasted coconut.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  6. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For a lighter option, consider replacing heavy cream with coconut cream or Greek yogurt. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to facilitate smoother mixing.
