Scale

- 2 (3.4 oz / 96 g) boxes instant coconut pudding
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 (14 oz / 397 g) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- ⅓ cup confectioners powdered sugar
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 (11 oz / 312 g) box vanilla wafers
Instructions
- Toasting Coconut: Spread shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet, roasting at 425°F until achieving a golden-brown hue, stirring midway to ensure uniform caramelization.
- Pudding Base Preparation: Whisk instant coconut pudding mix, whole milk, and sweetened condensed milk until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture, allowing the mixture to thicken and develop a luxurious consistency.
- Cream Incorporation: In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with confectioners sugar and vanilla extract until forming sturdy peaks, then gently fold into the pudding base, preserving its ethereal lightness.
- Layering Construction: In a serving vessel, create alternating strata of vanilla wafers, toasted coconut, and creamy pudding mixture, repeating the process to build a visually captivating and texturally complex dessert.
- Finishing Touch: Garnish the top layer with remaining toasted coconut, cover, and refrigerate for a minimum of two hours to allow flavor melding and complete setting.
- Serving Presentation: Present the chilled dessert, inviting guests to savor the intricate layers and tropical nuances of this coconut-infused delicacy.
Notes
- Toast Coconut Carefully: Watch closely during toasting to prevent burning, stirring halfway for even golden-brown color.
- Prevent Lumpy Pudding: Whisk pudding mix and milk thoroughly to achieve a smooth, silky consistency without clumps.
- Whip Cream Perfectly: Use a chilled bowl and whip cream until stiff peaks form for maximum volume and stability.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: Refrigerate the dessert for at least two hours to allow flavors to meld and texture to set properly.
