Coconut Cream Pie Recipe

Coconut Cream Pie is a classic. This creamy, dreamy pie recipe will quickly become a family favorite! I start by preparing dessert first because it needs to chill. This recipe is a favorite since it takes only a few minutes to prepare. It’s simple, yet it’s so good.

     TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + chilling      MAKES: 12-16 servings

Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 cups cold milk
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
• 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup flaked coconut, divided
• 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 2 graham cracker crusts (9 inches each)

Directions:

1. In a bowl, whisk the milk, extract and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set.
2. In large bowl, beat cream cheese. Stir in pudding and mix well. Fold in 1/2 cup coconut and whipped topping. Spoon into the crusts. Toast remaining coconut; sprinkle over pies. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 2 pies (6-8 servings each).
