Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 8x8-inch square baking pan to form an even base layer. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and salt. Warm the mixture gently, stirring continuously, for 3-5 minutes or until fully combined.
Pour the coconut-pecan mixture evenly over the graham cracker base. Use a spatula to smooth the surface.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the squares are firm and set.
Once set, remove the pan from the refrigerator and use the parchment paper to lift the slab out of the pan.
Cut the slab into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife.
If desired, dust the squares lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy cold or at room temperature!
