Ingredients:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant coconut cream pudding mix
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- Optional for garnish: extra shredded coconut (toasted), mini Nilla wafers, or graham cracker crumbs for dipping
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Creamy Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the coconut cream pudding mix, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is combined and smooth.
-
Add Whipped Topping and Coconut:
- Gently fold in the whipped topping and shredded coconut until everything is fully combined and the dip is light and fluffy.
-
Chill:
- Refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together and allow the dip to firm up slightly.
-
Serve:
- Once chilled, give the dip a quick stir and transfer it to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with toasted coconut, mini Nilla wafers, or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs on top for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve with Nilla wafers, fresh fruit, or graham crackers for dipping.
Tips:
- Toasted Coconut: If you want to elevate the coconut flavor, you can toast some of the shredded coconut. Simply place it in a dry pan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown.
- Flavor Variations: If you don’t have coconut cream pudding mix, you can substitute it with vanilla pudding mix for a similar effect.
- Make it Extra Creamy: For an extra creamy dip, you can add a little more whipped topping or even a tablespoon of sour cream.
This Coconut Cream Pie Dip is a fun twist on the classic coconut cream pie and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at any event. Enjoy every creamy bite! 🥥🍴
