Caramel Pecan Delight Pie 🥧🍯
Ingredients:
2 cups chopped pecans 🌰
2 cups coconut flakes (optional) 🥥
1 stick butter, melted 🧈
8 ounces cream cheese, softened 🧀
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 🥛
16 ounces whipped topping (such as Cool Whip) 🍦
Extra chopped pecans for topping 🌰
Caramel sauce for drizzling 🍯
Directions:
1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the chopped pecans, coconut flakes if you’re using them, and melted butter. Mix it well and then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form your crust. Bake for about 10–12 minutes until it’s lightly toasted and golden. Let it cool completely before you add the filling.
2. While your crust is cooling, let’s whip up that filling! In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Then, add in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until everything is well combined. Finally, gently fold in the whipped topping until it’s smooth and fluffy.
3. Now it’s time to assemble! Pour the delicious filling over your cooled pecan crust, spreading it out evenly so each bite is filled with goodness. Smooth the top with a spatula for that perfect finish.
4. Cover your pie and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or even overnight if you can resist! This allows it to set properly. Before serving, sprinkle some extra chopped pecans on top and drizzle with caramel sauce for that extra indulgent touch.
Enjoy your creamy, crunchy, and oh-so-delicious Caramel Pecan Delight Pie! 🍰❤️
