{no bake} Coconut Pistachio Cream Pie

This no bake coconut pistachio cream pie is the perfect summer dessert. No oven needed! It's so easy to make with a toasted coconut crust and two layer of creamy and cool pistachio pudding and whipped cream.

Ingredients

coconut crust

  • 1 bag 7 oz coconut flakes (about 1 2/3 cups)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter butter or coconut oil

cream pie

  • 2 boxes 3.4 oz instant pistachio pudding
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup whipped cream or cool whip
  • 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract

Instructions

  • To make the coconut crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Dump entire bag of coconut flakes onto a baking sheet (do not spray with cooking spray). Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the coconut is golden brown. Combine the toasted coconut and melted butter in a bowl. Mix together and then press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. I reserve 1/4 cup of the toasted coconut for garnish on top of the pie. Put the pie crust in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • To make the cream: Combine whole milk and pistachio pudding mix in a mixing bowl and whisk together until thick. Let stand for 2 minutes.
  • Put 1 1/2 cups of the pudding into the pie crust and spread evenly.
  • Add the 1 cup whipped cream into the remaining pistachio pudding, and the coconut extract. Whisk to combine together and spread into the pie evenly.
  • Put pie in the fridge for 3-4 hours. When ready to serve, garnish with additional whipped cream or Cool Whip, toasted coconut, and chopped pistachios (if wanted).

Notes

You can use 1 cup Cool Whip or you can whip your own. You will need 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream to get 1 cup whipped cream. To whip the cream, pour heavy whipping cream in a bowl with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (to sweeten it) and beat until stiff peaks form. About 2-3 minutes.
I always use 1 cup heavy whipping cream and then beat it until stiff peaks form. I use 1 cup for the pie and then use the extra whipped cream to pipe on top of the pie for garnish.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the toasted coconut for garnish on top of the pie.
