This Coconut Cream Pie Dip is a luscious and creamy dessert dip that combines instant coconut cream pudding with cream cheese, whipped topping, and sweetened coconut flakes. Perfect as a crowd-pleaser for parties or a sweet treat for any occasion, it’s served chilled and pairs wonderfully with graham crackers, Nilla Wafers, or fresh banana slices.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Coconut Pudding Base

  • 3 ounce box instant coconut cream Jell-O pudding
  • 2 cups whole milk

For the Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 ounce container Cool Whip topping, thawed
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes

For Serving

  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Graham crackers, Nilla Wafers, or banana slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding: In a large bowl, combine the instant coconut cream pudding powder with 2 cups of whole milk. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until the mixture is very thick. Set this aside to allow it to stabilize.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This creates a creamy base that balances the pudding’s texture.
  3. Add the Whipped Topping and Coconut: To the cream cheese mixture, add the thawed Cool Whip topping and continue mixing until fully combined. Fold in the sweetened coconut flakes gently to retain some texture in the dip.
  4. Combine Pudding and Cream Cheese Mixtures: Carefully fold the thickened pudding into the whipped cream cheese mixture until evenly incorporated, forming a smooth, fluffy coconut dip.
  5. Chill to Set: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Chilling allows the dip to thicken and develop its creamy texture fully.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over the top for added flavor and crunch. Serve the dip with graham crackers, Nilla Wafers, or banana slices for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Use sweetened coconut flakes for the dip itself, and reserve unsweetened or toasted coconut flakes for garnish to add texture contrast.
  • The dip can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator to deepen the flavors.
  • For a lighter option, substitute Cool Whip with a lighter whipped topping or whipped cream.
  • If you want a stronger coconut flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of coconut extract.
