Indulge in the rich, nutty decadence of this Coconut Pecan Pie—a delightful twist on the classic pecan pie. This simple yet irresistible dessert features a golden, flaky 9-inch pie crust filled with a luscious mixture of sweetened shredded coconut, crunchy chopped pecans, and a velvety base of eggs, sugar, and light corn syrup. Enhanced with a hint of vanilla and a touch of melted butter, every bite offers the perfect balance of sweet, nutty, and buttery flavors. Baked to golden-brown perfection in under an hour, this pie is a show-stopping treat for holidays, gatherings, or anytime dessert cravings strike. Serve it at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to elevate the indulgence. Perfect for coconut lovers and pecan pie enthusiasts alike!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and light corn syrup until well combined.
Stir in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish if not prepped already. Crimp the edges for decoration if desired.
Pour the coconut pecan filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. The center might jiggle slightly but will firm up as it cools.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before slicing, about 2 hours.
Serve as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence. Enjoy!
