Description

Indulge in the creamy, dreamy layers of this Coconut Cream Layered Dessert. With a buttery graham cracker crust, a velvety cream cheese layer, a luscious coconut pudding layer, and a fluffy whipped topping, this no-bake treat is a coconut lover’s delight.


Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Cream Cheese Layer:

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 of an 8 oz container of whipped topping

Coconut Pudding Layer:

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant coconut cream pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut (toasted or plain)
  • Extra graham crumbs or white chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. Cream Cheese Layer: Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping, then spread over the crust.
  3. Coconut Pudding Layer: Whisk pudding mix with cold milk until thickened. Spread over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Final Touches: Top with remaining whipped topping, shredded coconut, and garnishes. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

  • To enhance the flavor, lightly toast the coconut before sprinkling on top.
  • This dessert can also be made in a 9×13-inch dish for thinner layers and more servings.
