Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I Love This Pie Because It’s Practically Foolproof. No complicated steps, no fancy equipment, and the flavor is absolutely irresistible. The coconut adds chewiness, the pecans bring a nice crunch, and the chocolate chips (if I use them) make it decadent. It’s sweet, gooey, and buttery—all in a flaky crust. I Can Serve It Warm With Ice Cream Or Chilled With Whipped Cream, And It’s Always A Hit.

Servings And Timing
This Recipe Makes 8 Slices. It Takes Just 5 Minutes To Prep, 35–40 Minutes To Bake, And Is Ready In About 40–45 Minutes Total. Each Slice Is Around 320 Calories, Making It Rich But Worth Every Bite.
Variations
When I Want It Extra Gooey, I Swap Half The Butter For Cream Cheese. For A Grown-Up Twist, I Add A Splash Of Bourbon Or Rum. If I Don’t Have Pecans, I Use Walnuts, Almonds, Or Even Crushed Graham Crackers. Sometimes I Sprinkle A Little Sea Salt On Top Before Baking For A Sweet-Salty Kick.
Storage/Reheating
I Store Leftover Pie Loosely Covered At Room Temperature For Up To 2 Days, Or In The Fridge For Up To 5 Days. To Reheat, I Warm Individual Slices In The Microwave For 15–20 Seconds, Or Enjoy It Cold Right From The Fridge.
FAQs
