I tasted this light dessert 7 years ago at a potluck and got the recipe from my mom's dear friend. I've made it dozens of times since for my family and friends, who go wild over it. This is a terrific way to end a heavy meal. -Debby Chiorino, Pt. Hueneme, CA

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

This was very good. If I make it again I would cut the pudding and whip cream amounts in half and use a 8 x 8 pan for more coconut crunch.

Have made it many times and it is a real winner. Very, very easy and many recipe requests.

I made this for my pinochle group and they loved it.  I did it  a little differently and it turned out great.  I put some coconut crunch in a goblet, added the pudding mixture and topped it with more of the coconut crunch.  Theywere very pretty and made a great dessert. I've given out the recipe whenever I serve it to anyone.

I can't rave enough about coconut cruch. You cannot go wrong with this recipe. I got it from a Taste of Home magazine years ago, and have used it many times since then. I always get requests for this recipe, and it's one of my favorites, since it's quick and easy to make. It tastes like a creamy, coconutty butter cookie. Super YUM!
