I'VE MADE THIS IN A PINCH WHEN I DIDN'T WANT TO BAKE A PIE. I ALSO LOVE TWEAKING ALL PUDDING PIES. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT I HAVE IN MY PANTRY. SEE NOTE BELOW.

How To Make easy coconut cream pie

Step 1

1. Beat pudding mixes and milk in a large bowl with a whisk for 2 minutes, until it thickens.

Step 2

2. Stir in 1 cup Cool Whip; along with the coconut.
Step 3

3. Pour into the crust.
Step 4

4. Refrigerate approx. 4 hours
Step 5

5. Then top with the remaining cup of Cool Whip.
Step 6

6. You may also sprinkle some additional coconut on top of the Cool WHIP
Step 7

REMEMBER: To only use either the vanilla OR coconut puddings. Tho it wouldn't hurt to use 1 of each. I also use the sugar-free puddings.
Step 8

For a more Hawaiian taste: Add 1 - 8 oz. can crushed pineapple, WELL drained; along with 1 tsp. rum extract. [In this case, I would use the coconut pudding]
