How to Make Our Luscious Lemon Coconut Cream Cheese Dessert
Graham Cracker Crust
- First, crush graham crackers in a resealable bag or food processor, then combine with melted butter and press firmly into an ungreased 9X13 pan. Place in fridge while you make the filling and whipped cream.
Lemon Coconut Pudding Layer
- While the graham cracker crust chills in the fridge, make the lemon coconut cream cheese mixture.
- Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese until creamy. Mix in the lemon pudding, followed by the powdered sugar and the shredded coconut until well combined.
- Scoop filling onto prepared crust and smooth into an even layer.
Whipped Cream
- Using a mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream until you start to get stiff peaks. Add the lemon juice or vanilla extract and powdered sugar and continue mixing into the whipped cream mixture until you get stiff peaks.
- Add a layer of the whipped topping on top of the lemon coconut pudding and garnish with graham cracker crumbs, toasted coconut and lemon slices for a beautiful and delicious finish when serving.
- Make sure to refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Other Options
- We love this with fresh whipped cream, but you can also top this no bake lemon dessert with 2 – 8 oz containers or 6 cups of thawed whipped topping if you don’t want to make fresh whipped cream.
- Add some pecans or walnuts in with the graham cracker crust for a nutty crunchy vibe or you can add them on top as a garnish.
- Want another layer of delish? Add some Lucky leaf blueberry fruit filling or Lucky Leaf Strawberry fruit filling on top of the lemon coconut cream cheese filling for another flavor twist!
- This dessert is served in a 9×13 baking dish, but if you want less servings, halve the recipe for an 8 or 9 inch baking pan.
