Can we use coconut milk?
Yes, you can but it is not recommended as the perfect substitute for this recipe. If you want to enhance the flavor of the coconuts, then add a drop or two of coconut extract to the milk.
How to make sure the dessert does not go watery?
When it is in the fridge, it is common that they get watery. So, if you are making it in the daytime and want to serve it at night to guests or family, then don’t add the whipped cream. Cool both in different bowls and when you are serving add the whipped cream and toppings then.
What if my pie doesn’t set up?
It could happen if you are not using the right quantity of the pudding box. You have to use 2 boxes that could be 3.4 ounces. Moreover, it is preferred that you use cow milk for the pudding. If you are using non-dairy milk, the pudding won’t set. It is important to follow the instructions if you want to make the layers perfectly.
