  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, cornstarch, flour, and salt until well combined.
  • Slowly incorporate the melted butter into the mixture, stirring until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the chopped pecans, drained crushed pineapple, and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
  • Place the pie crust into a baking dish and pour the pecan mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Crimp the edges of the pie crust with a fork or your fingers for a decorative finish.
  • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 55 minutes. After that, cover the pie with aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the center is just set.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool before serving.
  • For the best results when making Island Pecan Pie, consider toasting the pecans and coconut before adding them to the filling to enhance their flavors. This pie is a delightful harmony of textures and flavors that will elevate your dessert experience.
  • If you want to add a little extra flair, serve the pie with homemade whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top.
  • Always keep an eye on the pie as it bakes to avoid overcooking, as this can lead to cracks in the filling.
  • Enjoy your baking!
