For an extra layer of flavor, try using coconut or pistachio pudding mix instead of vanilla. Fresh fruit such as grapes or strawberries can be added for a more vibrant dish. To prevent the coconut from becoming soggy, add it just before serving. Consider adding a splash of rum or other liqueur for an adult version.
