You’re just three steps away from delicious, creamy, homestyle coconut cream pie because this recipe is all about taking a little help from the grocery store!

This semi homemade dessert is everything you love about coconut cream pie – buttery graham cracker crust, rich coconut vanilla custard, and silky whipped cream – all without all of the time, effort, or dairy!

Easy peasy and so delicious! I can’t wait for you to try 😊

Makes 2 8″ pies

2 store-bought graham cracker crusts (check to make sure they’re vegan, most are)
2 packets of vegan Instant pudding mix, like Jello
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
2 cans full fat coconut milk
1 can lite coconut milk
2 batches of coconut whipped cream
1/3 cup toasted coconut flakes

In a large bowl, combine the pudding mix, coconut milks, and cream of tartar. Mix with a hand mixer for 2-3 minutes, then divide evenly between two pie shells.
Cover and refrigerate overnight to set.
To decorate, top with a generous amount of coconut whipped cream (recipe here) or store bought whipped topping. Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes and serve.

TIPS FOR FINDING VEGAN PIE SHELLS

A lot of store bought pie shells are accidentally vegan Just make sure they don’t contain butter (most don’t) or honey (some do).
