Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1.5 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 7 large Egg whites
- 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- optional Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sweetened shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and granulated sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg whites until foamy. Do not beat to stiff peaks; they should just be foamy.
Add the foamy egg whites to the dry mixture and stir until everything is well combined and the mixture is moist.
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie pan if not already in one. Pour the mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown on top.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
