Instructions

Slice Twinkies in half lengthwise.
Place the Twinkies, cut side up, in a 13x9-inch pan. You’ll have three rows of six.
Place the pudding mixes and milk in a large bowl. Beat until smooth with a whisk. Pour over the Twinkies (do this fairly quickly, as the pudding will start to firm up).
Carefully spread whipped topping over the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Sprinkle with chopped coconut.

Notes

Make it ahead: make the cake a day or two before serving. It's very forgiving! Just keep it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

You can make this with any flavor of instant pudding that you like (chocolate, cheesecake, etc.).

Don't want coconut? Top with chopped nuts instead.

The cake will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
