Coconut can be a polarizing flavor, but I absolutely love it. From candies, to cookies, to cakes, almost any treat is improved by the sweet and nutty flavor of coconut. And one of my all-time favorite coconut treats is the classic coconut cream pie. So, when I came across the idea for a Coconut Cream Pie Dip I knew I had to try making it as soon as possible. I went in an easy, no-bake direction for this recipe that comes together in just minutes and the results are seriously silky and irresistible. Not to mention just bursting with coconut flavor!

All you need are a few simple ingredients, two mixing bowls, and a whisk. You’ll first combine the coconut cream pie pudding mix with two cups of milk. Whisk them together for a couple minutes and the mixture will start to thicken (instant pudding for the win!). Next, you’ll combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a separate bowl, beat until smooth, and then add the cool whip. Mix the contents of the two bowls together and fold in the coconut flakes. Easy at that, your dip is ready to be transferred to the serving dish of your choice and topped with toasted coconut for a finishing touch.

Nilla wafers make a natural choice for a dipping vessel, but graham crackers, other cookies, or tropical fruits also make delicious options. You can also experiment with different toppings, like chocolate chips, banana slices, or sliced almonds to give your dip a unique twist. Any way you serve it, it’s sure to be a hit. Make it for your next get together and see for yourself!
