Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rough chopped pecans
- 2 cups flaked coconut (optional)
- 1 stick butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 14 oz can condensed milk
- 16 oz Cool Whip
- 1 jar caramel ice cream topping
- 2 graham cracker crusts (store-bought)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pecan-Coconut Mixture: In a skillet, lightly brown the chopped pecans and coconut (if using) in the butter. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Once the mixture is browned, set it aside to cool.
- Make the Creamy Filling: Using an electric mixer, blend the softened cream cheese, condensed milk, and Cool Whip together until smooth and well combined.
- Fill the Pie Crusts: Divide the creamy filling evenly between the two graham cracker crusts, spreading it out to cover the bottom of the crusts.
- Add the Topping: Evenly distribute the pecan and coconut mixture over the top of each pie.
- Drizzle with Caramel: Drizzle the entire jar of caramel ice cream topping over the pecan-coconut topping on both pies.
- Chill the Pies: Refrigerate or freeze the pies for at least 3 to 4 hours. For the best results, freeze the pies, as they cut better when frozen.
- Serve: Top with extra Cool Whip, if desired, and serve chilled or frozen.
Notes
- If you prefer a nuttier flavor, you can toast the pecans and coconut slightly before adding them to the filling.
- This pie can be made a day in advance and kept in the fridge or freezer until ready to serve.
- Feel free to adjust the caramel topping amount based on your sweetness preference.
- The pie crusts can be homemade, but store-bought is more convenient and works perfectly well.
