Ingredients
For the Crust:
2 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut, lightly toasted
⅓ cup butter, melted
For the Filling:
2 cups cold 2% milk
2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant pistachio pudding mix
1 cup whipped topping
For Topping (Optional):
Chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust – In a small bowl, mix the toasted coconut with melted butter. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- Make the Filling – In another small bowl, whisk together the cold milk and pistachio pudding mix for about 2 minutes until thickened. Let sit for another 2 minutes.
- Layer the Pie – Spread 1 ½ cups of the pudding mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
- Add the Whipped Topping – Gently fold the whipped topping into the remaining pudding mixture, then spread this over the first pudding layer for a light and fluffy finish.
- Final Garnish – Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top for a delightful crunch.
- Chill & Serve – Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- Toast the coconut lightly in a dry pan over medium heat for extra flavor.
- Use whole milk or half-and-half for an even creamier filling.
- Swap the pistachio pudding for vanilla or coconut pudding for a different twist.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
