Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Cup light corn syrup
• 3 Whole eggs
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 2 Cups pecans, divided
• 0.75 Cup sweetened flaked coconut, toasted
• 0.75 Cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 9 Inch prepared pie crust, packaged

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the flaked coconut until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light-colored and well blended.
4. Stir in the toasted coconut and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
5. Sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
6. Pour the corn syrup mixture over the chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution.
7. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly puffed.
8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours, to allow the filling to set properly.
9. Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
