Island Pecan Pie
Island Pecan Pie is a tropical treat you can make for any occasion! I tried it a few years ago for Thanksgiving in place of our classic pecan pie and it was a smashing success. This recipe originally comes from an Arkansas diner that I tracked down on Pinterest. This pecan pie recipe is creamy and flavorful with sweet chunks of pineapple and crunchy pecans and coconut flakes. I’ve served it at Easter dinner, Christmas and on warm summer Sunday afternoons. It’s totally versatile and a perfect recipe for any time of year. And if you’re loving tropical flavors, try some of these other scrumptious desserts with an island flair, like this pina colada poke cake, or these tempting coconut lime cheesecake bars.

Find the perfect unbaked pie crust recipe right HERE but to save on time, you can find delicious ready-to-bake pie crusts in the freezer section of your grocery store. Crimp edges of crust with a fork or your fingers for an extra decorative touch.I topped this tropical pie with homemade whipped cream. Make basic whipped topping with heavy cream, sugar and add a little almond extract with an electric mixer. It really complements the tropical flavors of the pie. For ease, use store bought whipped topping. But making your own homemade whipped cream doesn’t take long and it really adds a rich element to this already extravagant pie. For added flavor, sprinkle toasted coconut to the top of the pie. To get perfectly toasted coconut, just spread a thin layer of coconut on a cookie sheet and roast in the oven at 325 degrees for about 5-10 minutes. The golden color really pops on top of a dollop of whipped cream.Scoop vanilla ice cream on top of your pie too!Store pie in the refrigerator for up to a week. Do not freeze this pie.
