Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Filling
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 cup cream of coconut
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of coconut and eggs until smooth and fully combined. Stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Fill the crust: Pour the pecan and cream of coconut filling into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to ensure a uniform layer.
- Bake the pie: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie on the middle rack and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top. To check doneness, gently shake the pie; the center should be firm with a slight jiggle.
- Cool and serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This helps the filling to fully set and makes slicing easier.
Notes
- Be sure to use cream of coconut (a sweetened coconut product), not coconut milk, for the proper sweetness and texture.
- Chop pecans to your desired consistency; larger pieces add more crunch while smaller pieces allow for easier slicing.
- Allow the pie to cool fully to avoid a runny filling when sliced.
- For extra flavor, you can lightly toast the pecans before adding to the filling.
