Can I use homemade pudding?
This recipe is designed for instant pudding only. Homemade pudding typically requires cooking and may not set the same way in a no-bake format.
Can I skip the whipped topping?
You can, but it adds a creamy, airy finish that balances the denser pudding filling. You could also use stabilized whipped cream as a substitute.
What if I can’t find coconut pudding?
If coconut pudding isn’t available, use vanilla or French vanilla instant pudding and add 1 teaspoon of coconut extract to the milk when mixing. Fold in extra shredded coconut for flavor and texture.
Can I make this in individual servings?
Absolutely. You can divide the mixture into mini tart shells, small mason jars, or cups. This makes for perfect party desserts or meal-prepped sweets.
