Options for Coconut Cream Dip

When it comes to the coconut in this dip, you have a couple of great options.

Regular sweetened coconut adds just the right amount of sweetness and a lovely, slightly chewy texture. However, if you’re feeling adventurous, toasted coconut brings a lovely nutty flavor that complements the creamy dip beautifully.

Toasting coconut isn’t hard to do, and we love the added flavor it brings, so it’s our favorite way to make this dip.

For those looking to lighten things up a bit, unsweetened coconut is a fantastic alternative.

It still delivers that delicious coconut flavor but with less sugar, making the coconut cream pie dessert dip a little lighter, but equally delightful.

How to Make Coconut Cream Pie Dessert Dip

It’s really easy to make this Cool Whip coconut dip!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Cream Cheese
• Whipped Topping
• Powdered Sugar
• Caramel Sauce
• Coconut Extract
• Shredded Coconut
• Dippers (Fruit, Graham Crackers, Cookies, Pretzels)

How to Make It:

Cream the dip base. First you’ll add the cream cheese, whipped topping, powdered sugar, caramel sauce, and coconut extract to a mixing bowl.

Use an electric mixer to beat together until smooth.

Add the toasted coconut. Next, you’ll toast the coconut, if desired. Preheat the oven broiler on low. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread coconut flakes on the cookie sheet.

Toast the coconut flakes for 2 to 3 minutes or until they begin to brown (watch them closely so they don’t burn).

Fold in ½ cup of the coconut flakes until incorporated. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for an hour.

Garnish and serve. Last, you’ll sprinkle the top of the dip with the remaining toasted coconut.

Then serve with your favorite dippers–cookies, pretzels, graham crackers, sliced apples, strawberries, etc.

Notes and Adaptations:

• While toasting the coconut is technically optional, we like the flavor it gives.
• I like to use sweetened shredded coconut, but you can use unsweetened if you prefer.

Recommended Equipment:

• Electric Mixer
• Baking Sheet
