I’m a sucker for two desserts in one. Always have been. If I can get more, I want more. Done. I love desserts like these lemon meringue cookie cups and this brownie sundae pie because they take dessert to a whole other level…the level where we all have to loosen our pants a bit…but it’s totally worth it. What I like even more is when I can combine two desserts into one…HEAVEN!

Today I’m bringing you a two-for-one dessert that my Dad completely approves of – Coconut Cream Pie Cookie Cups. Now, there is absolutely not one thing wrong with my Dad’s Coconut Cream Pie, I mean, it’s like the best thing in the world. Buuuut, did you know that swapping out that pie crust for a sugar cookie cup could take that amazing pie to something other-worldly? Yep. It can.
