This no-cook coconut pie is a quick and easy dessert featuring creamy vanilla pudding mixed with coconut extract and whipped topping, combined with shredded coconut for texture. Set in a graham cracker crust and topped with toasted coconut, it delivers a tropical flavor perfect for any occasion without needing an oven.

Ingredients

Pudding Mixture

  • 2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2-3/4 cups cold 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract

Pie Base and Topping

  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 graham cracker crust (9 inches)
  • Additional coconut, toasted (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mixes, cold milk, and coconut extract together for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and is smooth.
  2. Fold in whipped topping and coconut: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping and 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut into the pudding mixture, ensuring even distribution while maintaining a light, fluffy texture.
  3. Assemble the pie: Pour the pudding and whipped topping mixture evenly into the 9-inch graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  4. Garnish and chill: Sprinkle additional toasted coconut over the pie surface for a decorative and flavorful touch. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing the filling to set properly.

Notes

  • For extra coconut flavor, lightly toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant.
  • Ensure the milk is cold before mixing to help the pudding set faster and achieve a smoother texture.
  • This pie can be made several hours ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Use a firm graham cracker crust to prevent sogginess.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk and whipped topping with plant-based alternatives.
