Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups milk
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 large eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
One 9-inch pie crust, homemade or purchased, prebaked as directed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium saucepan, stir together the brown sugar, heavy cream and butter. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a full boil, becoming thick and brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the milk. Slowly add the remaining milk to the sugar mixture.
  • Whisk together the cornstarch, egg yolks, vanilla and reserved 1 tablespoon of milk in a medium bowl. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sugar mixture over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thick, about 3 minutes. Pour the filling into the prebaked pie crust.
  • Make a meringue by beating the egg whites and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer until they begin to set stiff. Add the granulated sugar and continue beating until the whites are stiff and hold peaks. Spread the meringue on top of the pie, taking care to spread it to the edges of the crust. Bake until light brown, about 10 minutes.

Time 10h30m

Yield 2 Pies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (9 inch) deep dish pastry pie crusts
1/4 cup butter (salted)
1 (7 ounce) package flaked coconut
1 cup pecans (rough chopped, the texture makes this pie what it is)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (you can use full fat or 1/3 fat, but I wouldn't do fat free})
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 (8 ounce) containers whipped topping, thawed
1 (14 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping (this salted caramel one is fantastic, just use unsalted butter, instead)

Steps:

  • Bake your pie shells according to package directions and let them cool completely.
  • While your pie shells are baking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium and add the pecans and coconut. Toast your coconut and pecans in the butter until they become golden brown (roughly 10 minutes). Keep stirring constantly -- these can scorch easily. Set them aside to let them cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk together until creamy. Fold in your whipped topping by hand -- be careful not to "break it down" too much, but still get it incorporated nicely (it's such a fine line, isn't it?).
  • Have your baked and cooled pie shells ready to fill -- it's time to start layering!
  • Start by using 1/2 of your cream cheese mixture and divide that evenly between the two pie shells (so, technically, each pie will get 1/4 of the mixture).
  • Drizzle 1/4 of your caramel sauce over the cream cheese mixture on each pie, use 1/4 per pie and 1/2 the jar total for this layer.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 of the pecan/coconut mixture over the caramel on each pie. Again, use 1/2 of the mixture total.
  • Repeat the layers, using the remaining ingredients. Place pies in the freezer overnight.
  • You'll pull them out about about 20-30 minutes before serving to let them thaw a bit. You can store them in your freezer for about a month. I double wrap mine in Press-N-Seal and then add an additional layer of foil on top of that, to prevent any freezer burn.
