Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Mixture
- 3 ounce box instant coconut cream Jell-O pudding
- 2 cups whole milk
Dip Base
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounce container Cool Whip topping, thawed
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
For Serving
- Toasted coconut flakes

Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, combine the instant coconut cream pudding powder with 2 cups of whole milk. Using a whisk, vigorously mix for about 2 minutes until the pudding thickens significantly. Set the mixture aside to rest.

Add the thawed Cool Whip and continue mixing until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the sweetened coconut flakes to distribute evenly.
- Combine pudding and cream cheese mixtures: Carefully fold the prepared pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined, ensuring a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Chill the dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the combined dip for 1 to 2 hours to allow it to thicken and set completely, enhancing the flavors and texture.
- Serve with toppings: Before serving, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over the top of the dip for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled alongside graham crackers, Nilla Wafers, or banana slices for dipping.
