Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings; 1 9-inch pie
Ingredients
- 1 box Jell-O Pudding-Cook & Serve Coconut Cream Pudding & Pie Filling
- 1 (14-ounce) can lite coconut milk (NOT coconut milk beverage)
- 1 pre-made vegan pie shell or dairy-free graham cracker crust (see Note below)
- Whipped coconut cream (store-bought or homemade)
- Toasted shredded or flaked coconut, for topping
Instructions
- Follow the package directions to make the pudding, but use the canned coconut milk in place of the milk.
- Pour the pie filling into the prepared pie shell. Let cool.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, or until set.
- Top with whipped coconut cream, and sprinkle with toasted coconut before serving.
Notes
Thicker Option: You can use full-fat canned coconut milk for a thicker pie filling. But as mentioned do NOT use the coconut milk "beverage" sold in cartons for drinking. It's too thin and will not set up.
Graham Cracker Crust Options: Not all graham cracker crusts are dairy-free, but most are. We like Arrowhead Mills Crusts. And though graham crackers usually contain honey, several crust varieties are strictly vegan. For gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free, look for an option like Mi-Del Gluten-Free Graham-Style Crust.
