Description
Charlie Pride Pie is a rich and creamy Southern-style dessert that combines the flavors of a pecan pie with a hint of chocolate and coconut. Inspired by the legendary country singer, this pie is a classic comfort dessert, perfect for holidays and gatherings.
Ingredients
• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pecan halves
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup evaporated milk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, corn syrup, and evaporated milk until smooth.
3. Stir in pecans, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly.
5. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
6. Let the pie cool completely before slicing. Serve as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
• For a richer flavor, toast the pecans before adding them to the filling.
• If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
