You must stop what you are doing (well, finish reading first) and run out for these ingredients immediately. I can honestly claim this the most amazingly delicious dessert I have had to date. You will have to turn the oven on for about 15 minutes to toast the coconut. It is worth the small amount of heat in the kitchen for this dessert. I kid you not. This stuff is so irresistible my family would not allow me to share with anyone. Try our Strawberry Shortcake!
Samoa Cake
I was craving a cool, creamy no-bake dessert I could whip up in no time. So Samoa icebox cake it is! Blend milk and coconut pudding packets for about 2 minutes with an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Add caramel sauce and stir. Fold in Cool Whip. Refrigerate while you toast the coconut. You could also make your own whipped cream using heavy cream and a little powdered sugar for sweetness. Beat together until stiff peaks form. You start with a classic shortbread cookie. (found in the cookie aisle of your local supermarket) I dipped the cookies in milk for a second or two to soften them just a bit. Top the cookies with the coconut pudding, toasted coconut, caramel sauce, and chocolate sauce or hot fudge sauce. You can use vanilla pudding if you like, but we prefer the stronger coconut flavor. Repeat the layer a second time and refrigerate overnight. Yes, it’s pure torture to wait overnight but worth your willpower. Check out our Peanut Butter Balls! Two decadent layers of absolute dessert heaven! You must try this super easy no bake Samoa cake recipe. Our Scotcharoos are always a hit too!
