Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Spread the shredded coconut and pecan halves on a baking sheet in an even layer. Toast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the coconut is golden brown and fragrant and the pecans are lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil without stirring. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 8-10 minutes.
-
Carefully pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
Sprinkle half of the toasted coconut and pecans over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Pour half of the warm caramel mixture over the coconut and pecans. Repeat with the remaining coconut, pecans, and caramel to create layers.
-
Place the pie in the refrigerator to set for at least a few hours or overnight until the caramel firms up.
-
Slice and serve. Optionally, top with a sprinkle of sea salt, melted chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
