Directions: – Finely crush the graham crackers in a food processor or by placing them in a large freezer bag and roll over them with a rolling pin.

Place in the refrigerator while making the filling.

– In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese for around 3 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Slowly beat in powdered sugar until well combined. Gently fold in sour cream and Cool Whip. Stir in shredded coconut and coconut extract until combined.
