Coconut Cream Lush is a rich and creamy tropical dessert featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, luscious layers of coconut cream, whipped cream, and shredded coconut. This no-fuss yet elegant dessert blends smooth sweetness with crunchy textures for a refreshing treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Coconut Cream Layer

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (plus extra for topping)

Whipped Cream Layer

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter until the mixture feels like wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of your serving dish or pan to form an even crust. Chill in the fridge to set while preparing the filling.
  2. Mix the Coconut Cream Layer: In a bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and coconut cream. Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract, then fold in shredded coconut to distribute evenly.
  3. Whip the Cream: Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened coconut mixture to create a light, airy filling.
  4. Assemble the Layers: Pour the creamy coconut filling over the chilled graham cracker crust and smooth it out evenly. Top with additional shredded coconut or chosen toppings for texture and visual appeal.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to let flavors meld and layers firm up. Slice with a warm knife and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut cream for the richest texture and flavor.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to keep the dessert light and fluffy.
  • Chill thoroughly to ensure the layers set well and slice cleanly.
  • Lightly toast shredded coconut before adding for enhanced nutty aroma.
  • Use a warm knife—run under hot water and dry before slicing—to get clean, smooth slices.
