One of my favorite desserts in the summer is so simple and oh, so good.
The best thing about the dessert, beyond the cool creamy flavor, is that you can make it the day before you need it and it tastes even better!
This recipe was one I pulled from my Mom’s collection years ago. It has had several names from Ice Box Dessert to “that coconut thing you make” but the easiest to remember is Simple Coconut Dessert.
Simple Coconut Dessert
1 3-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups milk
1 large package instant coconut pudding mix
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup coconut, shredded and sweetened
Graham Crackers
Line the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan with Graham Crackers and set aside. Whip cream, add a dash of confectioner’s sugar to lightly sweeten.
In another bowl, mix cream cheese and milk until smooth. Add pudding mix and beat one minute. Fold in half of the whipped cream. Pour over Graham Crackers and chill for one hour.
Once chilled, spread rest of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with coconut.
So yummy and easy for summer entertaining. For more easy summer recipes, send me a message with your request or sign up for my newsletter. If you have a great summer recipe to share, please feel free to post it here!
