Coconut Cream Pie Cookie Cups! Two of my favorite desserts collide in this easy to make recipe that will have your guests oohing and aahing in no time!

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.

What You’ll Need

  • all-purpose flour
  • coconut milk

How To Make Coconut Cream Pie Cookie Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Coat a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cookie dough and all purpose flour. Knead together until well blended.
  4. Shape dough into one inch balls. Press cookie dough in bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup, forming cup shape.
  5. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool for at least ten minutes before gently twisting to remove from pan. Place on rack and let cool completely.
  7. Combine coconut milk, half and half, eggs, sugar, corn starch and salt in a large, microwave safe bowl. (I use my large Pyrex measuring cup.) Stir.
  8. Microwave on high for one minute, stir. Repeat until a thick custard has developed. 5-7 minutes.
  9. Stir in 1½ cups coconut and coconut extract.
  10. Spoon coconut custard into cooled cookie cups.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

    These little coconut cream pies are adorable, and cookie cups just rock in general. And I love your Reddi Whip roundup! It does come in super handy, and it’s delicious, so there you go!
