It is officially my favorite time of year – pie season!!
If you are a regular around here, you know that I have dedicated this year to pie. (Read all about it on this Caribbean Truffle Pie post!) A new pie recipe has gone up every month, but since this is November, and everyone needs lots of Thanksgiving pie in their November, I may just have to step it up this month and make more than one.
Not that you’d have to twist my arm or anything. 😉
I’m starting with a twist on a classic that will make you get those little heart eyes. I introduce to you: Coconut Pecan Pie. It’s no secret that I love coconut. So it’s only natural that I’d take a classic – the pecan pie – and add some coconut to make it extra special.
I started with a recipe for Coconut Walnut Pie on the Karo® Syrup website but because pecan pie is a classic Thanksgiving dessert, I knew I had to have pecans in there. I used Fisher® Pecans because I knew I needed quality, tasty pecans. And of course, you can’t have pecan pie without Karo® Syrup. It brings the perfect amount of sweetness to the pie, and gives it the perfect pecan pie texture. The coconut is a perfect pairing, and a dollop of fresh whipped cream on the top just gives it that little something special.
When it comes to pie crusts, you want to protect them from over-browning and the best way to do that is a pie shield. If you don’t have a pie shield, you can use foil to cover just the crust edges.
I’m planning on baking up lots of pies this holiday season to share with my family and friends so stay tuned for more great recipes. This is my favorite time of year to bake a little extra and share the love, and I can bet that your friends and family will go crazy over this Coconut Pecan Pie. Bring it to Friendsgiving or your Thanksgiving dinner with family. It’s the perfect way to kick off the holiday baking season!

Trying this recipe for the first time,not an experienced baker. I got totally thrown off where you say place the pie in a baking dish. I don’t know what this means, put the glass pie dish in another dish? I’ve seen before where they say put it on a baking sheet, but not dish. Help.
Deborah says
It should say to put the pie dish on a baking sheet. The recipe has been updated to be more clear.

My sister is avoiding dairy, is there any preferred substitute for the butter? Would coconut oil work or would a butter flavored spread like Earth’s Best or Smart Balance be better? Thanks!
