My grandmother “Granny” recently gave me a recipe for a favorite pie of her’s.  It was perfect because I needed two deserts for different occasions and this recipe make 2 pies.  I might not have ever eaten it before, but seriously how could a pie with cream cheese, caramel and coconut be bad.  This did not disappoint!  Boy oh boy, was this good and easy!!!!  The perfect type of pie for a potluck or backyard barbecue and it makes 2 so you can freeze one for later.  Thanks Granny!

Ingridents: 1/4 cup butter, 7 oz pkg Coconut, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 8oz cream cheese, softened, 12 oz sweetened condensed milk, 16 oz cool whip, 2 9′ pastry shells, 12 oz caramel ice cream topping

Melt butter into a skillet and add chopped coconut

and pecans

cook until slightly browned

Then mix the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk

Then gently fold in the cool whip

I used frozen pie shells and prebaked them for 10-12 minutes and cooled first.

Take 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture and spread into the bottom of each cooled pie shell

Then drizzle on some of the caramel

and then sprinkle with the coconut pecans

Repeat the layers and freeze

Remove from the freezer about an hour before serving. Enjoy!

  1. Ladies they were yummy! Glad Granny shared that recipe with you. I didn’t realize they were so easy to make.

  2. Absolute perfection! Give my thanks to your Granny:) I would like to invite you to participate in Crock Pot Wednesday at diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com. Come check it out.

  3. Cool whip isn’t very “real food” but it sure is tasty. I wonder if you could substitute real whipped cream? The photos are fantastic!

  4. Wow, this does sound good! I think I’ll try it with homemade caramel to avoid the high fructose corn syrup and other stuff in the Smuckers, and homemade whipped cream is so easy!

    What a yummy way to get more coconut into our diets. 🙂

    Thanks for joining in on Real Food Wednesday!
