Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix melted oleo, sugar, evaporated milk, flour, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
- Add pecans and coconut to the mixture and mix well.
- Pour the filling into an uncooked pie shell.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes or until set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of oleo. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the pecans or substitute with sunflower seeds. Make sure to beat the eggs well for a fluffier texture. If you like a bit of spice, adding a pinch of nutmeg can enhance the flavor profile. This pie is a great showcase for classic American recipes.

Serve this pie warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. Pair it with a hot cup of coffee or tea to balance the sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular milk instead of evaporated milk?
Yes, you can substitute regular milk for evaporated milk, but the pie may be slightly less rich. To mimic the thickness of evaporated milk, consider using whole milk or adding a bit of heavy cream to your regular milk for a creamier texture.
What type of pie shell works best for this recipe?
A standard 9-inch pie shell works best. You can use a store-bought frozen pie crust for convenience or make a homemade crust for a fresher taste. A graham cracker crust could also add an interesting flavor twist if you prefer a different base.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance. Just bake it, let it cool completely, and then store it in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, and it will be ready to serve when you need it.
