- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or light butter
For the Filling:
- 1 package (0.3 oz) sugar-free coconut-flavored gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 package (1 oz) sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups fat-free whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted (for topping)
Instructions:
For the Crust:
- Prepare Crust: In a bowl, mix together the crushed graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and melted coconut oil or light butter.
- Press into Pie Dish: Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon to make it compact.
- Chill: Place the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
For the Filling:
- Dissolve Gelatin: In a bowl, dissolve the sugar-free coconut gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Add Cold Water and Coconut Milk: Add 1 cup of cold water and 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk to the dissolved gelatin mixture. Stir well.
- Prepare Pudding Mix: In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar-free vanilla pudding mix with a small amount of the gelatin mixture until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the pudding mixture back into the gelatin mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Chill: Place the combined mixture in the refrigerator until it starts to thicken but is not set.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Once the mixture has thickened, gently fold in the fat-free whipped topping until well combined.
- Pour into Crust: Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Chill Until Set: Place the pie in the refrigerator and let it chill until fully set, typically for a few hours or overnight.
- Toast Coconut: Before serving, toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the top of the pie.
- Serve: Slice and serve the no-bake Weight Watchers Coconut Cream Pie.
Notes:
- Sweeteners: Ensure that any sugar-free products used are suitable for your Weight Watchers plan.
- Portion Control: Pay attention to portion sizes to stay within your desired point range.
- Toasting Coconut: Keep an eye on the shredded coconut while toasting to prevent burning.
