How to Make Banana Coconut Cream Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups Bisquick mix and ½ cup granulated sugar.
  3. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x9x2 inch baking pan.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is light golden brown.
  6. Let the crust cool completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes.
  7. While the crust cools, prepare the pudding according to package directions using 1 ¾ cups milk.
  8. Spread the prepared pudding evenly over the cooled crust.
  9. Arrange fresh banana slices neatly over the pudding.
  10. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream (approximately 1 cup) over the bananas.
  11. Sprinkle generously with sweetened shredded coconut (about ½ cup).
  12. Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, to allow flavors to meld.
