Naples Pie
A sweet coconut pie topped with melted Hershey's almonds chocolate, perfect for dessert lovers seeking a simple, indulgent treat with rich flavors and crunchy texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Empty the can of coconut into a greased pie pan.
- Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of margarine or butter, mix, and pat the coconut into the sides and bottom of the pie pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes until slightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsweetened coconut flakes instead of sweetened coconut. You can substitute the margarine with coconut oil for a dairy-free version. Ensure the pie crust is evenly pressed to avoid any cracks. Keep an eye on the coconut while baking, as it can brown quickly. This pie is also delightful with a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top.
Serving Suggestions
This Naples Pie is perfect as a sweet treat after dinner or as a dessert for gatherings. Serve it alongside fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It also pairs beautifully with a glass of homemade Perked Punch for a refreshing beverage option.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. For a quick treat, serve cold straight from the fridge or enjoy at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh coconut instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh coconut, but be sure to finely grate it. Fresh coconut may require a bit of extra baking time to achieve the same golden color and texture as canned coconut.
What can I do if I don't have a pie pan?
If you don't have a pie pan, you can use a baking dish or even a tart pan. Just ensure to adjust the baking time if the dish has a different depth, as a shallower dish may require less time to bake.
Can I add other ingredients to the filling?
Absolutely! You can mix in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit for added texture and flavor. Experimenting with different additions can make this pie uniquely yours.
