Ingredients
– 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, depending on your preference)
– 1 cup chopped pecans
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup corn syrup
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Whisk or electric mixer
– Measuring cups and spoons
– 9-inch pie plate
– Oven
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a mixing bowl, and combine the sugar, eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. I like to whisk these together until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy; this helps to incorporate air, making the filling light and fluffy. Next, gently fold in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans until well combined. The combination of flavors is already mouth-watering! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
