Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cups Coconut flakes, sweetened
• 1.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1.25 cups Heavy cream
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Sweetened whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cups Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to press it firmly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

Spread 1 cup of sweetened coconut flakes evenly on a baking sheet. Place it in the oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted and golden. Watch closely to avoid burning. Set aside.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar and heavy cream. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the butter. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt. Let the caramel cool for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Pour the caramel filling into the prepared crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm.

Step 10

Top the chilled pie with whipped cream, if desired, and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes for garnish before serving.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your decadent Caramel Coconut Pie!
