Tips for the Perfect No-Bake Coconut Cream Pie

- For a firmer crust, freeze it for 15 minutes before adding the filling.
Substitutions and Variations
- Gluten-Free? Use gluten-free graham crackers for the crust.
- Dairy-Free? Swap cream cheese for dairy-free cream cheese and use coconut milk instead of dairy milk.
- Want a Chocolate Twist? Add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder to the crust or drizzle melted chocolate on top!
- Prefer a Traditional Pie Crust? Use a pre-baked flaky pie crust instead of graham crackers.
Make a Healthier Version
- Use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lighter version.
