Do you have a Halloween Hangover? Does the sound of sugar and chocolate make you green? Are pumpkin guts stuck to your kitchen floor? Do crusty tubes of face paint adorn your bathroom counter? Did you get to bed too late last night, only to wake up to shriveled up-burned out pumpkins lounging around on your front porch?
No?! You’ve got it all together with your kitchen floor freshly mopped and those used up pumpkins stacked neatly in the trash, don’t you. I knew you would be so wonderful and organized. Well done. I want to be you when I grow up.
I’m happy you have Halloween neatly tucked away because today I have this for you…
I am happy to be participating in this fun event with many wonderful bloggers and sponsored by The Mother Huddle. There is a complete list of participants at the bottom of this post if you want to spend a little time blog hopping today.
The recipe I am sharing as part of the Progressive Dinner is an easy version of Coconut Cream Pie. When I made it for my family last week they said…
Nothing.
There were no words spoken for some time. Only mouths full of heavenly, creamy, coconut sweetness.
Then they passed out cold on the kitchen floor and nearly died from bliss.
It’s that good, folks.
Let me show you how it’s done. 🙂
1. Whip up your very own homemade pie crust (recipe and tutorial found here), or purchase a premade crust at the store. Poke the crust with a fork, several times over and then pop it into a 400 degree oven and bake it for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown. Let the baked crust cool completely.
2. Turn your oven down to 350 degrees and pour 2 cups of flaked coconut onto a large baking sheet. Pop it in the oven and let the coconut get toasted. Should only take about 5-7 minutes. Stir it with a spatula a couple of times during baking. Just a word of caution here. When coconut gets toasted it lets of some pretty powerful fumes. It smells heavenly, but can be harmfull to the eyes. Be carefull when you open the oven door to stir the coconut. Don’t look directly in the oven until the door has been open for a couple of seconds and the fumes have had a chance to waft past you. 🙂
3. Place 2 small boxes of instand coconut cream pudding into your stand mixer or large mixing bowl.
Add 2 cups whipping cream,
and 3/4 cup of whole milk. Mix the ingredients on low-speed for 30 seconds. Scrape the bottom of your mixer with a rubber spatula to be sure all of the pudding mix is incorporated. Then mix on medium speed until the pudding is thick.
4. Add 1/4 teaspoon of Coconut extract and 1/4 cup sour cream. Mix until just until combined.
5. Spread the filling into the cooled crust making a small mound in the center.
6. Take 1 cup of thawed cool whip
and spread it over the pie filling.
7. Sprinkle the toasted coconut on top. Let it chill in the fridge for at least and hour and up to 24 hours.
Then cut and serve.
Enjoy!

my pudding seems runny, and not very thick. did i do something wrong or am i not mixing long enough?
ok the ingredients say to use whipping cream, but the picture is of heavy whipping cream. I used regular whipping cream, would this make a difference?
Mark,
Whipping cream or heavy whipping cream will both work out fine. You just need to whip it long enough. I used my Kitchen Aid with the whisk attachment. If you are using regular hand held beaters it will take more time. Hope it turns out well for you.

This is my husbands favorite pie. This looks yummy.
Oh my!! This pie looks so good! Ive been looking for a simple recipe for Coconut Cream Pie!
Cant wait to try this!
Yeah I was using a hand mixer, thanks for the tip!
You have some of the best recipes anywhere – thank you. The pie looks sooo good.
Do you think it would turn out okay if you left the sour cream out?
Hi Tammy,
Yes, it would still turn out well without the sour cream. Good luck!

[…] Easy Coconut Cream Pie […]
I might be mistaken here but the ingredients list says 1 1/2 cups coconut but you say to pour out 2 cups of coconut on the cookie sheet to bake. Just a little confused. I guess I will just use the 2 cups.
This pie was delicious and sooo easy to make!!! Thank You so much for posting it….I’m just looking for another reason to make it again 🙂
Could I use sweetened whip cream on top instead of cool whip?
[…] It’s defiantly not the end of the Summer around here as there seems to be no cooling off in sight — it’s downright HOT! So this recipe is perfect – it’s no bake and scrumptious! And, if you know me, or have read my other posts, you will know I am not a huge pie maker. That is, the kind of pies that require making a pastry crust. With my husband’s love for Coconut Cream Pie, I decided to try out one of his favorites in a mini version. Gotta love anything mini! My thinking is that these are easier to make and the single serving is just right for a snack or fun little dessert. Not much more perfect than these!

[…] Around my home, any time of the year is the right time to enjoy coconut! So get ready to dig into these cute little Coconut Crunch Parfaits! My boys love coconut and are always asking me to make something with the sweet flaky stuff in it! So I whipped up these in no time, and yes, pretty much they were devoured in no time too! For a little texture in between the silky pudding base, I added some incredible crunchy Madagascar Vanilla Bean cookies that I found at my local Raley’s store along with a sprinkling of heavenly sweet shredded coconut. If you’ve got coconut lovers in your home you can’t go wrong with these little gems! Coconut Crunch Parfaits (pudding filling adapted from Jamie Cooks it Up) […]
