FAQs
Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
Yes! You can make this dessert a day in advance. Just keep it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
Can I use a different type of cookie?
Absolutely! If you can’t find Coconut Dreams cookies, any chocolate or vanilla cookies will work. Just try to choose something that complements the caramel and chocolate flavors.
What if I can’t find Cool Whip?
If Cool Whip is not available, you can make your own whipped cream by whipping heavy cream with a bit of sugar until soft peaks form. Just fold it into the pudding like you would with Cool Whip.
