This pie is just like the candy! So, if you like chocolate and you like coconut...this is the pie for you! Plus...there is no oven involved...yay!

Ingredients: 8 oz. cream cheese, softened

                  1 cup cream of coconut (you find this in the alcohol section)

                   1 pkg. (3.9oz) of cheesecake flavored instant pudding

                 14 oz. sweetened flaked coconut (put in fridge when you get home)*it's important*

                  2 pkg. (8oz each) of cool whip

                 1 oreo pie crust

                  Hard shell chocolate ice cream topping (or some call it "magic shell")

                  6 pieces of almond joy candy

                  Directions:  Blend the softened cream cheese and cream of coconut until smooth and creamy. Add the pudding mix and beat until blended.

               Next, add 1/2 of the cold coconut. Mix well. Fold in one tub (8oz.) of cool whip.

             Pour 1/2 of the mixture into the oreo crust. Drizzle with the hard shell topping, then pour second half of mixture on top.

             Mix about 3/4 of the remaining coconut with the other tub of cool whip and spread on pie.

       Then, sprinkle the remaining coconut on top of pie and put the almond joy candy on top. Place in refrigerater for about 45 minutes to set.
