Test Kitchen tips
  • For golden color and a nutty coconut flavor, toast the 1/2 cup of coconut that goes on the top layer.
  • This can be made in a slightly smaller dish, but we liked that the dessert didn’t fill the dish completely. It makes it easier to cover when chilling (and transporting to potlucks).
  • As the dessert sits in the fridge, the graham crackers absorb moisture from the coconut milk and pudding mixture, softening to a somewhat cakelike texture.

    Shop Recipe

    Directions

    1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and extract until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 cup coconut milk. Add pudding mix; beat on low speed until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.
    2. Pour remaining coconut milk into a shallow dish. Quickly dip half the graham crackers into the coconut milk; allow excess to drip off. Arrange crackers in a single layer in the bottom of a 13x9-in. baking dish, breaking to fit as needed. Layer with half each of the cream cheese mixture, pineapple and coconut. Repeat layers. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours before serving.
