Ingredients

• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
• 2 cups Coconut milk
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 Egg yolks
• 2 cups Whipped topping or fresh whipped cream
• 0.5 cup Optional: Additional toasted coconut for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to create an even crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, whole milk, cornstarch, sugar, and egg yolks. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a smooth custard (about 7-10 minutes).

Step 6

Remove the custard from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the custard cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 7

Once the crust and custard are cool, pour the coconut custard evenly over the crust.

Step 8

Spread the whipped topping or fresh whipped cream evenly over the custard layer.

Step 9

Sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut over the top of the dessert for extra flavor and texture.

Step 10

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2-3 hours, or until it is fully set.

Step 11

Slice into squares, garnish with additional toasted coconut if desired, and serve chilled.
