A luscious no-bake dessert featuring a crumbly graham cracker crust layered with a creamy coconut custard and fluffy whipped topping, making it a perfect tropical treat that’s easy to prepare and refreshingly delicious.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the coconut mixture until fully incorporated, maintaining a light and airy texture.
  4. 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.
  5. Chill: Cover the pan tightly and refrigerate for at least four hours, preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely and develop flavors.
  6. 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.
