Ingredients
Filling:
- 3 cups cream
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablepoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 12-ounce bag white chocolate chips
- 1 8-ounce block of cream cheese, softened
- 1 16-ounce tub of Cool Whip, softened
Crust:
- 2 cups macadamia nuts crushed, reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar
Directions
Combine all crust ingredients and mash into the bottom of a greased 9x11 cake pan. Bake for 10 minutes in a 300 degree F oven. Set crust aside to cool while you prepare the filling.
Combine cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and cornstarch into a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil over a medium flame. As the filling begins to thicken, add the butter, vanilla, and white chocolate chips. When the filling has thickened turn off the heat and whisk in the cream cheese. Pour the filling on top of the crust.
Allow to cool in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes. Then take the Cool Whip and spread over the top of the filling. Garnish with the remaining macadamia nuts and chill until ready to serve.

As the first commenter suggests, this recipe is waaay too sweet. I first made it the way it is written, tasted it before pouring into the pie shell, and I knew I had to adjust. I added a 12 ounce can of evaporated milk and a tablespoon of cornstarch. The result was complete bliss. Of course, this made too much filling, but I simply put the rest into three large ramekins. If I were to start out again and not make so much, I would cut back the sugar to one half cup (at least. My advice is to pout the sugar in last to your liking.

No specification on what kinds of nuts so I used the unsalted kind. Was awful. Filling is very very very sweet. So much so that the cool whip actually acts to set it off (though not especially successfully. Was not a hit and will not be making again.

I was looking for something different and this was a hit! I used crushed chocolate chip cookies for the crust instead of the macadamia nuts and I found that it was the perfect combination. I will definately be making this again very soon!
