How To Make Coconut Pie Dip
For The Pie Dippers
Thaw – The first thing you’ll do is thaw the pie crust according to the package directions.
Prep – Next, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. You’ll also want to line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Shape – Now, you’ll want to unroll the pie crust and cut it using a favorite cookie cutter and place them on the baking sheet.
Bake – Finally, prick the pie dough with a fork and bake them for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden.
For The Coconut Pie Dip
Mix – To make the dip, you’ll start by beating the cream cheese and cream of coconut on medium speed until it’s nice and smooth. This should only take about 1 minute.
Mix Again – Next, you’ll want to scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the sugar, shredded coconut, and coconut extract. Beat everything again using medium speed until smooth and combined. Do this for about 30 seconds.
Last Ingredient – Finally, add in the Cool Whip and beat the coconut dip for about a minute until everything is incorporated.
Cool – Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with toasted coconut. Cover the bowl and chill it until you’re ready to serve.
Serving – I love to serve the cocounut dip with pie crust dippers, graham crackers, and vanilla wafer cookies.
Recipe Tips
- Where To Find It – You can find Cream of Coconut near the bottled margarita and piña colada mixes. I like the brand Coco Reál.
- No Lumps – If you don’t want lumps in your dip, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature and the powdered sugar is sifted.
- Storing – This coconut pie dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

I’m in love with this dip! I know you said the dipper crackers were optional, they are amazing with this dip.
I’m so glad you loved it!
I am using this as a frosting for my coconut cupcakes. Fingers crossed it turns out! 🙂
Arianna,
Good luck, it should work well!
What can I sub out for Cool Whip.
Hi Karen,
Although I haven’t tried it, you can probably used fresh whipped cream instead of Cool Whip. I would whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form and then fold it into the other ingredients. This would need to be served right away because the whipped cream will break down. If needed, I would say chill no more than 1 hour before serving.
I hope this helps!
Oh my….I just love this, all coconutty and creamy!! Pinned!!

PS-LOVE the bunny dippers!
The bunny dippers are a must if you want it to truly taste like Coconut Cream Pie. Enjoy!
