Easy Salted Caramel Coconut Cream Pie Recipe

I first came across this pie recipe on the website from my friends at Southern Living. Being a lover of all things caramel and coconut, it was a no brainer, I had to try it and put my own spin on it. At first glance I thought about remaking this pie with a graham cracker crust instead of a pie crust. However, after testing it that way, I noted that this coconut cream pie is sweet and I see why the original recipe called for a pastry pie crust. It’s so delicious, you can’t go wrong either way.

How to Make the Best Salted Caramel Coconut Cream Pie Recipe

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Salted Caramel Coconut Cream Pie: One 9 inch deep dish pie shell baked and cooled.
For the Coconut Cream filling you’ll need: 1 pound softened plain cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, butter, vanilla extract, sweetened flaked coconut, chopped and toasted pecans, whipped topping, warm dulce de leche or thick caramel ice cream topping to drizzle on top.
This pie can actually be served frozen, if you like. It’s not necessary to freeze it so it will set and I actually prefer it chilled. By changing the amount of cream cheese in the creamy filling there’s no need to freeze this pie unless you want to. It sets-up beautifully after being chilled for several hours.
To top the pie, frost it first with a layer of whipped topping, and sprinkle with toasted coconut and pecans and then drizzle it with slightly warmed caramel just before serving. Doing it this way, the caramel will remain slightly gooey and soft.
You can make your own homemade whipped cream if that’s your preference. Whipped cream isn’t’ as stable as whipped topping and will not keep quite as well.
Sprinkle with a tiny amount of sea salt at the end to give it the crowning touch. You can omit this if your like.
Store leftover Salted Caramel Coconut Cream Pie chilled in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
