Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut cream
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped topping
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan, forming an even crust layer.
- Combine the filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the full-fat coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and uniform. Stir in the pure vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the coconut mixture until fully incorporated, maintaining a light and airy texture.
- Layer the dessert: Spread half of the coconut mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust. Add a layer of whipped topping on top, then repeat this layering process with the remaining coconut filling for a layered effect.
- Chill: Cover the pan tightly and refrigerate for at least four hours, preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely and develop flavors.
- Serve: Once chilled and set, cut the dessert into squares. Garnish as desired with toasted coconut flakes or fresh fruit before serving for an added touch.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use light coconut milk and reduced-fat whipped topping.
- Can be garnished with toasted coconut flakes or fresh berries for extra flavor and presentation.
- Ensure the coconut cream is well chilled before mixing for best texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
