Melt cream cheese and mix with other 2nd layer ingredients. Spread 2nd layer over 1st layer. Prepare 2 small packages of coconut cream pudding as stated on package but only use 3 cups of milk for both packages. Let cool. Spread on this last layer. Put remainder of cool whip on top.
Brown coconut for about 5 minutes. Be careful as it will burn easily. Then sprinkle coconut over cool whip.
