I too have been making this for a long time and everyone loves it. My version makes 2 and I use the store bought chocolate crusts. I put a cream layer in each one, drizzle with caramel, then another cream layer and drizzle with caramel, adding the coconut, pecans on top. I then use the plastic lid that comes with the crusts and invert it over the top of the pies crimping the edges, and you can stack on top and store in freezer. Great summer treat!
Delicious! I added a pinch of kosher salt to the pecan/coconut mixture and to the cream cheese mixture because this pie is very sweet. I think next time I would make it in a 9 x 13 inch pan with a homemade graham cracker crust.
I hesitate to leave a review because I made a lot of changes. The base of this dessert is perfect, but I followed another reviewer’s advice and used an Oreo crust and added hot fudge between layers, making it more of a turtle pie. It was loved by everyone who tried it.
This pie was much sweeter than I anticipated but it was still really good and very easy to make. Since it yields 2 pies, I kept the second one in the freezer for a couple of weeks and it was just as good as the fresh one. I will make again.
delicious, For the topping, I toasted the cocunut and pecans
One of the best pies I ever ate and so easy to make. I served it to a group of friends and they all wanted the recipe. I didn’t change a thing in the recipe and wouldn’t.
Best pie ever..It so rich and creamy .. and easy to make ..
Really good – liked it better after a couple of days in the freezer. Easy and tasty.
So so yummy! Even though it is a frozen pie, we make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We pair it with homemade caramel drizzle sauce and it is amazing!!! I have been making this for several years now and I always have people ask for my recipe. I’ve had to save the link on my phone so I can forward it on to everyone.
Wonderful pie, everyone I shared it with loved it
I’ve made this several times – perfect – just the way it is!
Added 1 tsp vanilla bean paste to cream cheese/Eagle Brand condensed milk mixture and chocolate chips. Light, very tasteful Summer dessert. Will definitely make again and use my own graham cracker crust recipe.
Great
I am making it the second time how. Halved it for on pie at a time. Changes: Instead of sweetened condensed milk, combined 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder in 7 oz of milk. Deliciously sweet. Made a crust with vanilla wafers (made crumbs, combined with butter). Used lowfat cream cheese and topping and did not add caramel sauce as it was plenty sweet. Used walnuts instead of pecans. This time I am using almonds. I think that this could be varied in a lot of ways and still be wonderful. Husband, who is a chocolate man, won’t let me change a thing. Great company dessert and very easy. Doesn’t requite an oven so it keeps the house cool in the summer. 10!
I would give this 100 stars if I could. So good.
yes. best pie I’ve ever made. very rich but not over filling.
This rates 5 stars for ease, taste, and appearance. Everyone just raved about this beautiful pie. Please do exactly as the directions describe. I made it a second time and it is still superb!!
I did utilize real whipped cream ( yes, it freezes well) in the recipe, more coconuts & pecans toasted a bit longer & spread in the layers before the caramel drizzle. Great recipe!
Hands down the best summer treat. I have made this for serval occasions. Love that it makes 2 pies, this is a bonus. I will give this 5 stars. I didn’t need to change a thing. love it love it
Yummy, this pie was a HUGE success with my family. Instead of making two pies, I made one big one in a 13×9 pan. I also doubled the caramel.
my mom made this for my birthday and it was SO GOOD. and so unhealthy…but it was my birthday…
