Equipment

  • 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan
  • 1 large mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers try not to snack on them all first!
  • 1 box yellow cake mix because who has time to make it from scratch?
  • 1 cup shredded coconut for that tropical flair
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or whatever nutty friend you have on hand
  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk (the magic ingredient)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter because more butter = better
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract a little vanilla never hurt anyone
  • 1 cup milk to bring it all together

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish like it owes you money.
  • Spread those crushed vanilla wafers evenly across the bottom of the dish—resist the urge to eat them all first!
  • Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped pecans over the wafers like you’re decorating a tropical island cake.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the cake mix, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth—just try not to drool.
  • Pour the mixture over the wafer, coconut, and pecan layers, spreading it out like frosting on a cake.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the house smells like a bakery.
  • Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving—if you can wait that long!
