Coconut Cream Pie Dip
Coconut Cream Pie Dip – A delicious appetizer that tastes just like the classic pie! This light and fluffy dip is made with a simple cream cheese base and toasted coconut! Coconut cream pie dip with be a new favorite dessert dip!
Welcome to the second day of #EasterSweetsWeek! Make sure to check out my Hot Cross Buns recipe from yesterday and the other fantastic recipes from bloggers below! For today’s recipe, I whipped up just about the easiest dessert ever, this coconut cream pie dip! It’s light, fluffy, and tastes even better than a coconut cream pie! I know, that may be a bit of a scandalous thing to day but hey, it is really delicious!
Originally, today’s recipe was actually going to be a tarte tatin using the beautiful apples that Rainier Fruit Company sent but my recipe was a miserable failure. It turned out delicious but was nothing like a tarte tatin was supposed to be visually so I shifted gear and searched around my pantry to see what I could make instead. As soon as I came across the giant bag of coconut I usually just use in yogurt every morning, I knew I had to use it and thus, this dessert dip recipe was born! I think dessert dips are the best dip, who doesn’t want a sweet dip that you can have as either an appetizer or a dessert?!
Tips and tricks on this coconut cream pie dip recipe
- If you want to make this dip extra coconut-y, make up a batch of instant coconut pudding and add it in after you beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together. I was perfectly content with how much coconut was in it with just the toasted coconut but it’s up to you!
- This dip is great served with vanilla wafers, graham crackers, fruit, etc! My favorite thing to dip in it was the apples I got from Rainier Fruit Company!
- To toast coconut, place shredded unsweetened coconut in a medium frying pan and cook over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, continuously stirring. Be careful, the coconut can burn really easily if you aren’t careful!
