I love preparing desserts for guests but recently our life
has been on overdrive with work, family, birthday’s, events, blog work and
LIFE. So when I needed to make a dessert
for a get together I decided to create something that everyone would enjoy and
I wouldn’t have to slave over a stove/oven for hours to prepare.
Disclaimer – as my husband has informed me – not everyone
will enjoy this because he for some ODD reason feels the need to lie and say he
is allergic to coconut just because he doesn’t like coconut! HA!!
So, let me rephrase. Anyone that
likes coconut will LOVE this super easy dessert.
1. In a large bowl mix pudding and
milk until pudding becomes thick, using a whisk.
2. Fold in 1 cup un-toasted coconut flakes. Mix well.
3. Fold in 1 cup of thawed Cool Whip. Mix well.
4. Pour mixture into mini pie crusts evenly.
5. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
6. While waiting for pies to set you will need to toast the rest of the coconut flakes. Set the oven to 250 degrees. In a baking pan (I used a round cake pan) spread coconut flakes out.
7. Let coconut flakes bake for 7-10 minutes. Stir every 2 minutes. Coconut should be light brown when done.
8. Once pies have set. Put a dollop of Cool Whip on each pie. Then top Cool Whip with toasted coconut flakes.
9. Serve cooled – right out of the refrigerator. Enjoy!
Aren’t these so pretty? I am loving all of the mini pie options and this is one of my favorite so far! So yummy and like I said – SUPER EASY! Your guests will be asking for seconds.
I love these! They are so cute and the perfect single serving size. I make tons of recipes with Jello but have no made coconut cream pie yet. It's now on my list!
Those are so pretty! We normally make apple pies or lemon Merainge. I have never tried a coconut cream pie before but it looks tasty.
That sounds absolutely delicious. I can't wait to make this for my family!

Oh wow .These look delicious. I'm pretty sure my whole family would LOVE THESE! I will have to try my hand at them. – Jeanine
those do look easy and tasty! I think our friends would love me if I made them for the cookout
I love coconut. This looks like a great recipe, I like that they are smaller pies too, great for portion control!
Oh my I want to try this. I am borrowing this recipe to try out on my family.
I love that they're so tiny and delicious sounding too. Cream pies are my fave!
Lol your husband is so funny .. I have to admit I'm not a fan of coconuts .. but I would try this because the portions are smaller
OMG I laughed seriously about the disclaimer! That was awesome. The recipe looks good too.
