I have a thing for dessert dips, for sure. And this coconut cream pie dip fits right in. It’s heavenly, you guys. Imagine your favorite coconut cream pie, but without needing to bake a crust. It’s smooth and silky, sweet and wonderful.
This dip is perfect for summer gatherings when you don’t want to turn on the oven, the holidays, or any occasion! It’s so easy to whip up in just minutes.
Helpful Tips & Variations
- Make sure the pudding is Instant. You need Instant coconut cream Jell-O pudding for this recipe, not the cook and serve kind.
- Whole milk. For best results, use whole milk so the pudding thickens properly.
- Softened cream cheese. Let the cream cheese sit out until room temperature for easier blending and avoiding lumps.
- Powdered sugar. Stick with powdered sugar and avoid granulated so the cream cheese is smooth and not gritty.
- Cool Whip topping. This should be fully thawed before mixing with the other ingredients. If you’d prefer to use homemade whipped cream, you’ll need to beat together 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream, 2 Tbsp powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla until you reach stiff peaks.
- Coconut flakes. You’ll need sweetened coconut flakes blended into the mix and toasted coconut flakes for garnish.
- Let chill before serving. This dip is best when chilled for a couple hours before serving, which allows it to set and really thicken up.

How to Make Coconut Cream Pie Dip
- Make the pudding. In a large bowl, combine a 3 oz box instant coconut cream Jello pudding with 2 cups cold milk, whisking vigorously for 2 minutes until thick.
- Beat the cream cheese. In another large bowl, beat 8 oz room temperature cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in an 8 ox tub of thawed Cool Whip until incorporated, then fold in 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes.
- Combine. Add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain.
- Chill. Cover and chill in the fridge for about 2 hours (or overnight) to thicken and completely set.
- Serve. Right before serving, garnish with toasted coconut flakes. Enjoy with dippers such as graham cracker, Nilla wafer cookies, or fresh fruit.

Any leftover dip should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It will keep up to 4 days. We don’t recommend freezing it.

I have made this recipe a few times, and every time I do someone asks me for it. It is so easy yet so delicious! Thank you for sharing it with us!
I was so excited to see this recipe…then I went looking for the Instant Coconut Creme Jello…nobody has it (without paying $8.50 a box). Can you think of any substitutions?
Annie, call Kraft. they should be able to help you locate it sold closest to where you live. if not close, ask if they can ship it to you.
This is my new favorite dessert dip. I served mi. With strawberries and I cut pre-made pie crust with a pizza cutter and sprinkled sugar on it before I baked it. Best thing I’ve discovered for dessert dips.
Made this for a 4th of July cookout and it was amazing – not a spoonful left, we all loved it!
Y’all weren’t lying about this dip. It’s delicious! I used vanilla pudding and added a teaspoon of coconut flavoring. Worked well.
Could you use this in a graham cracker crust as a pie or would it not be firm enough? Definitely trying the dip!
I have made a pie with this recipe & it turned out great
I will try this!
My god was this yummy!!! I couldn’t find the coconut pudding so I just used vanilla. Still good!
Served this for game night yesterday and it was a big hit. It’s light and fluffy and so delicious. I might try adding crushed pineapple to it next time.
This was so yummy!! Served it for a girls night and it disappeared.
This is absolutely delicious!!! People always ask for the recipe, and it is so easy. I do make a ton of the toasted coconut for the wonderful taste and crunch. Thank you so much!

I first tried Coconut Cream Pie when we stayed in America, lovely
I first tried Coconut Cream Pie when we stayed in America, of course no one has even heard of it over here in Australia, but I found a recipe and made one and it was delicious and had a bit of filling left over so i did the same thing just used it as a dip. truly are so lucky to have beautiful sweet pies over there
This would make a great filling for one of those no-bake eclair cakes.
Never thought of a coconut eclair cake. Great idea. Btw, the peanut butter cup one is sinful!!!
What a great idea! I’m going to make that next week. Thanks for the suggestion :)
Looks really good…
I’d think that it will be spectacular as a pie filling…
