Woody's Coconut Cream Pie

Woody's Coconut Cream Pie


Ingredients


1 Prepared Graham Cracker Crust


1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 of 16 oz can of cream of coconut (its between 3/4 and 1 cup, depending on brand)
1 (3.4-ounce) package Jell-O Coconut Cream Pie instant pudding mix (just the dry powder - not prepared pudding)
1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (Sugar free coolwhip is what I used)


Garnish/Topping:


4 oz of whipped topping, thawed (Sugar free coolwhip is what I used)


1/4 cup of toasted flaked coconut



Preparation


Beat cream cheese until smooth. Blend in cream of coconut at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add pudding mix, beating until blended. Add whipped topping until well-incoorporated. Spread cheese mixture evenly into prepared crust. Top with 4 oz of thawed topping (I used sugar free cool whip). In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast some shredded coconut until golden brown. Sprinkle toasted coconut over the pie and chill for 2 hours.






Yields: 1 pie
