This pie is more traditional Kentucky but several Cajuns have taken a liking to it. Granmere would be real proud of this one. Try adding a half cup of raisins or chocolate chips for a nice difference.
Ingredients
- 1 (9 inch) pie crust
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup egg whites
Directions
Step 1
Bake Pie Crust according to package direction. Cool.
Step 2
Reduce oven temperature to 325F.
Step 3
In large bowl, combine coconut, graham cracker crumbs, pecans and sugar.
Step 4
In another bowl, beat egg whites just until foamy. Add egg whites to the mixture, and mix well by hand. Mixture will be stiff. Optional: add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the mixture or 1/2 cup raisins.
Step 5
Pour into prepared pie shell. Bake, uncovered, 25 to 35 minutes or until set. Do not overbake. Middle will be gooey.
