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!
Caramel Coconut Pie

7 oz pkg Coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
8oz cream cheese, softened
12 oz sweetened condensed milk
16 oz cool whip

12 oz caramel ice cream topping
Melt butter in skillet, add coconut and chopped pecans. Cook until golden. Set aside to cool. Combine cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and beat until smooth. Fold in cool whip.
Layer 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture in each pie shell, then drizzle caramel topping over pie, then sprinkle 1/4 coconut mixture over pie, repeat until it’s all gone.
Freeze and then thaw 1 hour before serving.

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

As soon as I saw the title I knew I was in trouble. Now I am salivating at my desk! Yum.
Oh Yum, these look super delicious.
That looks so good and EASY! I will definitely be trying this one out!

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.
Oh, yum! Can’t wait to try it. Your Granny is a genius!!
I always enjoy your pictures and this pie looks amazing!
My husband loves coconut and caramel, so any recipe that has both is a winner in our house! Thanks for posting!
Oh yum!!! Two of my favorite flavors in one pie?! Gotta try this! Thanks!
I’m going to have to savor this one via your photos, as my boys won’t touch coconut. Boohoo! This looks absolutely luscious. Yum. Yum. Yum.
Mmm… that looks fantastic!
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!
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!
