Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups whole milk cold
  • 2 cups whipped topping divided
  • 1 cup toasted coconut divided

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a small bowl, add the melted butter to the graham cracker crumbs. Using a fork, mix well. You want every crumb coated in the butter as this will be the glue that holds it together.
  2. Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a 9-inch pie plate. Using your hands, press the crumbs firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate.
  3. To a large bowl, add pudding mix and milk. Using a whisk, beat for about 2 minutes until very smooth.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of the whipped topping and ¾ cup coconut.
  5. Pour the whipped topping mixture into the crust.
  6. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.
  7. Once firm, pile the remaining whipped topping in the center. Make sure to show a little bit of the edges of the coconut cream filling.
  8. Sprinkle with remaining toasted coconut. Chill until ready to serve.
