Ingredients
Caramel Sauce:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
Pie:
- 3/4 (13.5-ounce) can (about 1 cup) coconut milk, reserve remaining for caramel sauce
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (3.4-ounce) box vanilla instant pudding
- 1 (9-inch) pre-made store brand Graham cracker pie crust
- 1 cup (1/2 pint) heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons sweetened flake coconut, toasted, for garnish
Directions
For Caramel Sauce:
In a medium saucepot combine sugar, 3 tablespoons water, and lemon juice. Heat over medium-high heat. When sugar turns amber in color, carefully and slowly whisk in the coconut milk. Pour caramel into a bowl that is placed in an ice bath to cool or transfer sauce to a bowl and place in refrigerator.
For Pie:
In a large bowl whisk together 1 cup of coconut milk, milk and pudding mix. Pour in enough caramel sauce, about 1/4 cup, to coat the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the filling into the crust on top of the caramel.
In another large mixing bowl that has been chilled. Whip the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form, be careful not to over beat.
Spread the whipped cream on top of the pie and refrigerate for 1 hour or until completely set. Once the pie is set, sprinkle with toasted coconut and drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly. I thought it was very tasty...I personally didn't have any problems with the texture. The only reason I didn't give this five stars is because I didn't understand the lemon in the caramel....? It gave it a funny tang I didn't really care for. Other than that...no complaints!!!

sadly disappointed. my first clue should have been when HER slice of pie didn't come out and serve up cleanly. Also - the flavors were all off for a classic Coconut Cream Pie. Makes me more than a little hesitant to try ANY more of S.L.'s "money saving meals." blech!

My dad loves Coconut Cream Pie. After reading all the reviews I decided to try 2 boxes of pudding, one coconut and one vanilla. The pie turned out perfect! A little too sweet for him because of the Carmal Sauce. He also suggested that I try a regular pie crust the next time I make this for him. I am giving this recipe a 5 only because of the feed back/suggestions from others in this review.
