Ingredients
Method
Preparation of the crust
- In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, unsweetened shredded coconut, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
- Press this mixture into the bottom of a baking dish and refrigerate for a bit to help it set.
Making the filling
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth.
- Mix in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Assembling the pie
- Pour the creamy filling over the chilled crust.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, allowing it to set properly.
Finishing touches
- To finish, toast the shredded coconut until golden brown.
- Sprinkle it over the pie, slice into squares, and serve.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. The toasted coconut may lose crispiness over time.
