Chocolate Coconut Lush is a cool and creamy layer dessert with tons of coconut flavor. It’s a terrific potluck dessert.

 
Coconut Flavor
The coconut flavor comes from two sources. There’s shredded coconut in both the crust and on top, plus 2 cans of coconut milk are used to make the chocolate pudding layer.
Four Easy and Delicious Layers

The bottom is a chocolate crust with shredded coconut. Two eggs are used as binder for the crust.
Next is a cream cheese/Cool Whip layer.
The third layer is a chocolate pudding layer made with a box of instant chocolate pudding mix and coconut milk.
On top is a layer of Cool Whip.

 
Chocolate Coconut Lush Recipe Tips
Allow a little time to make this layer dessert. It helps to refrigerate each layer before adding the next. Can be made a day or two in advance.
Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Too much longer and the pudding starts to get a little weepy and watery.
Be sure to use canned, unsweetened coconut milk, NOT the kind found in the dairy section. It is usually found in the Asian section of the grocery store.
How To Toast Coconut
There are two easy ways to toast coconut.

In a nonstick skillet. Place the skillet over medium-low heat and stir the coconut frequently to prevent it from burning.
In a 350 degree oven. Spread it out on a baking sheet. Will take 8 to 10 minutes. Stir a few times during this preiod.
