This is absolutely fabulous! I wasn't sure at first how much I would like the uncooked coconut in the pudding, but it provides a wonderful contrast of texture. This was very much enjoyed at my home. Just wanted to add that it took me almost 10 minutes to get my pudding to the boiling point, but that may be my finnicky oven. Thanks.

what a wonderful dessert! my family loves coconut and especially liked this. i liked the fact that it is no-bake, and only takes a few minutes to throw together. i used garham cracker crumbs, crushed in place of vanilla wafers and it tasted just fine.
