Ingredients
  

  • 1 unbaked pie crust ½ batch of flaky pie crust or store-bought
  • 4 large eggs or 7 large egg whites
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar for sweetness
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract for flavor
  • ¼ teaspoon salt balances sweetness
  • 2 cups whole pecan halves or 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
  • 9 whole graham cracker sheets about 1 ½ cups crushed
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sweetened coconut for texture and sweetness
  • Sweetened whipped cream for serving
  • Sliced bananas for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400℉ (204℃).
  2. Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface, then transfer to a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges. Freeze the pie crust for 10 minutes to chill thoroughly.
  3. Line the chilled pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15-18 minutes to parbake the crust. Once done, remove the pie weights and parchment paper. Reduce the oven temperature to 350℉ (177℃).
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
  5. Add the toasted pecans, graham cracker crumbs, and coconut to the bowl. Stir until well combined (the mixture will be thick).
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake at 350℉ (177℃) for 25 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is slightly jiggly. The center should be set but gooey. Remove from oven and let cool for 1 hour.
  7. Serve the pie warm, at room temperature, or chilled, topped with whipped cream and sliced bananas.
