Step 1

In a large bowl, add the instant coconut cream pudding and whole milk, then whisk them until combined, and keep mixing for about 1 minute until it starts to thicken.

Step 2

Add the whipped topping, then gently fold them together until combined, and set it aside. Get a 9×13-inch baking dish, then place a layer of Graham crackers at the bottom, add 1/3 of the pudding mixture, and spread it evenly.

Step 3

Repeat the layers 2 more times with the remaining pudding mixture and Graham crackers, then add the last of the Graham crackers on top, and spread the remaining whipped topping until evenly covered.

Step 4

Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap, then place it in the fridge, and let it chill for at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Once ready to serve, top it with toasted coconut, then serve, and enjoy!
