No-Bake Coconut Cream Lush is a layered dessert with a buttery graham cracker crust, sweet cream cheese filling, creamy coconut pudding, and fluffy whipped topping, finished with toasted coconut for a refreshing and tropical treat.

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed vanilla wafers
  2. 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  4. 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  5. 1 cup powdered sugar
  6. 16 oz whipped topping, divided
  7. 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant coconut cream pudding mix
  8. 3 cups cold milk
  9. 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut (plus extra for topping)
  10. Optional garnish: toasted coconut, white chocolate shavings

Instructions

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until fully mixed.

  1. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish and chill while preparing the filling.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping. Spread evenly over the chilled crust.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together coconut cream pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Stir in shredded coconut. Spread over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Top with remaining whipped topping, spreading evenly.
  5. Sprinkle with toasted coconut or garnish as desired.
  6. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Press the crust firmly and chill it before adding fillings to prevent crumbling.
  • To toast coconut, bake at 350°F for 5–7 minutes, stirring once, until golden.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for richer pudding if substituting for regular milk.
  • Making the dessert a day ahead enhances the flavor and helps layers set.
