Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Make crust: Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill.
  2. Make filling: Whisk pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes. Let thicken 5 minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Pour into crust.
  3. Cook topping: In a saucepan, combine evaporated milk, brown sugar, egg yolks, and butter. Cook over medium heat 7–10 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, coconut, and pecans.
  4. Cool topping: Let cool 10–15 minutes (to prevent melting filling), then spread over pie.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) until set.
  6. Serve: Slice and enjoy cold. Store leftovers covered in the fridge.

Tip: For a shortcut, use a store-bought chocolate pie crust. You can also toast the pecans first for extra flavor!
