This Coconut Cream Pie Dip is a luscious, creamy dessert dip that captures the tropical flavors of a classic coconut cream pie. Made with instant coconut cream pudding, cream cheese, Cool Whip, and sweetened coconut flakes, it offers a smooth, fluffy texture with a delightful coconut taste.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dip

  • 3 ounce box instant coconut cream Jell-O pudding
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 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, whisk together the instant coconut cream pudding powder and whole milk vigorously for 2 minutes until the mixture becomes very thick. Set aside to let it start setting.
  2. Make the cream cheese mixture: In another large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until well combined and fluffy. Then, add the thawed Cool Whip topping and continue mixing until evenly combined. Gently fold in the sweetened coconut flakes to incorporate them without deflating the mixture.
  3. Combine the mixtures: Carefully fold the prepared pudding mixture into the cream cheese and Cool Whip mixture until fully blended, creating a smooth and creamy dip.
  4. Chill the dip: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. This chilling time allows the dip to thicken and set, enhancing its texture and flavor.
  5. Serve and garnish: Before serving, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for added texture and flavor. Serve the dip with graham crackers, Nilla Wafers, or fresh banana slices for dipping.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese and whole milk for the creamiest texture.
  • Thaw Cool Whip completely before mixing to ensure smooth incorporation.
  • To toast coconut flakes, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • For a lighter dip, substitute half of the whole milk with skim milk or use light Cool Whip.
  • Serve chilled for best consistency and flavor.
  • Great as a party appetizer or a sweet treat for family gatherings.
