Ingredients
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 4.6 ounce box cook & serve vanilla pudding mix
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups coconut flakes divided use
- 1 8 ounce container Cool Whip
- 2 baked pie shells
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Heat milk and pudding in a pot over the stovetop on medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- When pudding just begins to bubble, remove it from heat. Stir occasionally as the pudding cools.
- About 5 minutes after you remove the pudding from the heat, add ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract and 1½ cups of coconut. Stir to combine.
- Toast the remaining ½ cup coconut in the oven at 350°F for about 6 to 8 minutes. When the coconut begins to turn light brown, remove it from the oven.
- When pudding has completely cooled, add 5 ounces of Cool Whip and fold or gently stir until the Cool Whip is fully incorporated. You will have some Cool Whip left over.
- Pour the filling into the two pie shells. Place pies in the refrigerator as you finish the whipped cream.
- Prepare the whipped cream by placing heavy cream and sugar into a chilled bowl.
- Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until the whipped cream has stiff peaks.
- Place the whipped cream into a pipping bag.
- Pipe the whipped cream around the edges and then make 8 small dollops of whipped cream in the center of the pie.
- Sprinkle toasted coconut on the whipped cream.
- Refrigerate the pies until thoroughly chilled, about 4 hours.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You can use either pastry or graham cracker crust. The crust will need to be baked and cooled before filling.
