Yes. You will definitely need to make this one a bit in advance. This 4th of July pie will need at least overnight to set and harden in the freezer. If you can give it 24 hours even better.

On the other hand if you like to prep things in advance you can prep this one even further out and then it will be ready when you are!

I don’t like coconut, will I like this pie?

You can leave out the coconut flavoring or use a different one if you like. There’s not an overwhelming amount of coconut in this recipe so it won’t be so strong that you are a overpowered by it.

Feel free to swap in another flavoring for the coconut if you’d like to give it a little bit of a different twist and make it your own. Be sure to stop back and let us know what you tried and how it turned out so others can give it a go as well.

Kitchen essentials for tasty no bake recipes:

When you head into the kitchen to make some of these great recipes you’ll want to have the best tools on hand.

Of course mixing bowls, a mixerspatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!

I like these casserole dishes from Pyrex which are great for no bake recipes and for all your favorite dinners, brownies, cakes, and more.

You can’t go wrong with some good sharp knives and a cutting board. They will always come in handy in the kitchen for recipes of any kind, even desserts!

How to make a 4th of July pie:

Place heavy whipping cream in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. This can also be done with a hand blender with whisk attachment but will take much longer. Blend for 4 minutes on low speed and adjust speed going up to 6 as it thickens. Once it resembles whipped topping then it’s ready.

adding condensed milk to the ice cream base.

Fold in the can of sweetened condensed milk. Fold in coconut flavoring. Separate about 1 cup of the mixture and dye it blue with the food gel. Pour the white mixture into the pie crust. Swirl in the blue mixture.
