Prepare the Chocolate Pudding Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined and creamy.
Color the Coconut: In a small bowl, mix the shredded coconut with a few drops of green food coloring until it resembles grass.
