Ingredients
1 3/4 cups shredded sweetened coconut1/4 cup salted butter, softened2 tbsp flour (use rice or tapioca flour to keep this GF)3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder1 (4-serving size) package instant coconut cream pudding mix1 1/2 cups whole milk, cold1/2 tsp rum extract (optional)1/2 cup cold water1/2 tsp coconut extract1 package Dream Whip topping mix (unprepared)
Preheat oven to 350F.
Using a food processor, combine coconut, butter, flour and cocoa to make a "mouldable", slightly sticky dough.
Press into a greased pie plate.
Bake 10 minutes, then place in freezer to chill completely.
Meanwhile, beat together pudding mix and milk, and add extract if using.
In another bowl, whip cold water, coconut extract and Dream Whip powder for 2 minutes until "stiff peaks" form.
Fold Dream Whip into the pudding mixture gently but thoroughly.
Spread pudding mixture in chilled crust, refrigerate a minimum of 3 hours to set before serving.
**Note: you will have about 1 1/3 cups of the filling left over if you made a traditional 9" pie. Either make another pie, eat it right out of the bowl, or (my favourite) put the filling into ramekins and freeze them for chilly coconut mousses!**
