TOASTED COCONUT, PECAN. CHOCOLATE, AND CARAMEL PIE
This was kind of a creation that happened when I found one yummy pie recipe and accidentally poked a hole in the crust. Some of my best creations are accidents! This makes two pies and freezes really well!

Steps:
- 1. Broil coconut and chopped pecans on a baking sheet until lightly toasted and browned. Remove from oven and cool.
- 2. Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth.
- 3. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring into pie crust. Start at the center of the crust and work outward.
- 4. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add condensed milk and mix until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread 1/4 of cream cheese mixture into each pastry shell. Sprinkle 1/4 of coconut mixture over each pie. Drizzle 1/2 of caramel topping over each coconut layer. Follow with remaining cream cheese mixture, then remaining coconut mixture.
- 5. Pies may be served chilled or frozen.

Steps:
- For crust:
- Blend flour and salt in processor 10 seconds. Add butter; cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 4 tablespoons ice water; blend just until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if mixture is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 1 hour. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
- For filling:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coarsely chop 2 cups pecans and reserve. Spread 1 cup pecans on rimmed baking sheet. Toast in oven until nuts are aromatic and darker in color, about 12 minutes. Cool, then grind nuts finely in processor. Maintain oven temperature.
- Roll out crust on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round (crust will be thin). Transfer crust to 10-inch-diameter pie dish. Fold overhang under, forming high-standing rim. Crimp edges decoratively. Freeze crust 20 minutes. Whisk eggs in large bowl until frothy. Add sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and ground toasted pecans; whisk until blended. Mix in chopped pecans. Pour filling into crust.
- Bake pie until crust is golden and filling is puffed and set (center may still move when dish is shaken), about 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool at least 3 hours. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Cut pie into wedges and serve slightly warm or at room temperature with whipped cream.
Tips:
- Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans will have a better flavor and texture than stale pecans.
- Toast the pecans before using them. Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
- Use a good quality pie crust. A good quality pie crust will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the pie.
- Don't overfill the pie crust. If you overfill the pie crust, the filling will spill over and the pie will be messy.
- Bake the pie until the filling is set. The filling should be set but still have a slight jiggle to it.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set properly.
Conclusion:
Pecan pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a pecan pie that is sure to impress your friends and family.
