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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
