No-bake Coconut Cream Lush is a luscious, creamy dessert featuring a buttery graham cracker crust layered with a rich coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk filling, topped with fluffy whipped topping. This easy-to-make treat requires no baking and is chilled until set, making it perfect for a refreshing and indulgent dessert any time of year.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut cream
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to create the crust.
  2. Combine the filling: In a large bowl, blend the full-fat coconut cream with the sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the coconut mixture, being careful to maintain its light and airy texture, until fully incorporated.
  4. Layer the dessert: Spread half of the coconut cream mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust. Add a layer of whipped topping on top, then repeat with the remaining coconut filling to create layers.
  5. Chill: Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight to allow the dessert to set and flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Once chilled and firm, cut the dessert into squares and garnish as desired before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut cream for a rich and creamy texture.
  • Ensure the whipped topping is well chilled for best folding results.
  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut whipped topping and verify that the sweetened condensed milk is plant-based.
  • Garnish options include toasted coconut flakes, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of chocolate.
