Here is how to make this delightful No-Bake Coconut Cream Pie at home.

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 prepared graham cracker crust (9-inch), or you can make a quick homemade one using 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted butter.

For the Coconut Cream Filling:

  • 8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened to room temperature

  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant coconut cream pudding mix (vanilla works too!)

  • 1 1/2 cups cold whole milk

  • 1 tsp coconut extract (optional, for an extra punch of flavor)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

  • 8 oz frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed—divided

For the Garnish:

  • 1/2 cup shredded or flaked coconut, lightly toasted in a skillet

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

  • If you are making a homemade crust, mix your graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until it feels like wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place it in the freezer to set for 15 minutes while you make the filling. If using a store-bought crust, simply unwrap it and set it aside!

2. Mix the Creamy Base

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until it is completely smooth and free of lumps.

  • Add the instant pudding mix, cold milk, coconut extract, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until combined, then increase the speed to medium and beat for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens up nicely.

3. Fold in the Coconut and Cream

  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the sweetened shredded coconut.

  • Next, fold in half (about 4 ounces) of the thawed whipped topping. Mix gently until the filling is light, fluffy, and perfectly blended.

4. Assemble the No-Bake Coconut Cream Pie

  • Pour your luscious coconut filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with your spatula into an even layer.

  • Spread the remaining whipped topping smoothly over the top of the pie.

5. Chill and Garnish

  • Place your No-Bake Coconut Cream Pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the pie to firm up so you get clean, beautiful slices.

  • Right before serving, sprinkle the top generously with your toasted coconut flakes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
