Southern Living's No Bake Coconut Cream Pie

 

Graham Cracker or Chocolate Crust

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup cream of coconut, from the beverage isle

1 (3.4-ounce) package cheesecake instant pudding mix 

1 (6-ounce) package frozen sweetened flaked coconut, thawed

1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

 

Preparation

 

Beat cheese and cream of coconut at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add pudding mix, beating until blended.

Stir in coconut; fold in whipped topping. Spread cheese mixture evenly into prepared crust; cover and chill 2 hours or until set.

Garnish with Whipped Cream and flaked or toasted coconut if desired….

 

( This is my favorite coconut pie recipe! I use regular coconut, not frozen and use white chocolate or vanilla instant pudding, when I can't find the cheesecake flavor.  I usually freeze pie for a few hours.)
