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!
