Mini Coconut Cream Pie Cups – Easy No-Bake
Individual coconut cream pie portions in small mason jars or dessert cups — all the tropical, creamy goodness of the classic pie in a no-slice, no-mess portable format. The dessert presentation style that's completely dominating Pinterest in May 2025.
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk (or more as needed)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: toasted coconut flakes for garnish
Instructions
- 1. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each mini mason jar or dessert cup. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
- 2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
- 3. Stir in shredded coconut and vanilla extract. If the mixture is too thick, add milk a tablespoon at a time until smooth. Let cool slightly for 5 minutes.
- 4. Pour the filling into the prepared jars over the crust, dividing evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
- 5. In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- 6. Pipe or spoon the whipped cream onto the chilled pies. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes. Serve cold.
