Hey! I'm Taryn. Welcome to our blog. I cant wait to sprinkle a little fun into your kitchen with you!
May Day has always been about color, celebration, and a little something sweet- and these May Day Coconut Cream Pies fit right in. With a creamy coconut filling tucked into buttery graham crusts, each pie is finished with toasted coconut and a sprinkle of springtime sugar for that touch of sparkle.
Here’s a little history on May Day: May Day has long been a celebration of spring’s arrival—a day filled with flowers, color, and community. For generations, families have marked May 1st by weaving flower crowns, dancing around maypoles, and delivering little “May baskets” filled with blossoms or treats to neighbors’ doorsteps. It’s a holiday rooted in joy and sharing, a chance to welcome warmer days with something cheerful and festive.
Do these pies need to be baked?
No, these are no-bake coconut cream pies. The filling sets in the fridge, which makes them easy and fuss-free.
Can I make the pies ahead of time?
Yes, assemble the pies a few hours in advance and keep them refrigerated until serving. Add the sugar sprinkles just before serving so the color stays bright.
Do I have to toast the coconut flakes?
Toasting isn’t required, but it adds a nutty flavor and a pretty golden look that makes the pies stand out.

How long do these May Day Coconut Cream Pies last?
They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days in a covered container.
Can I freeze these mini coconut cream pies?
Freezing isn’t recommended since the filling may separate once thawed.
What can I use instead of mini graham cracker crusts?
You can use crushed cookies pressed into small jars or cups for a crust-free version.
Can I use real whipped cream instead of whipped topping?
Yes, whipped cream works fine, but the pies may soften a little faster, so serve them the same day.
What occasions are these best for?
These mini pies are perfect for spring parties, Easter, Mother’s Day, or any May Day celebration.
Celebrate May Day with a simple tradition—enjoy these pies after making paper flower cones or weaving daisy chains with family and friends. Share the pies alongside your handmade flowers for a fun little basket exchange that feels fun but easy.
