WYATT'S CAFETERIA PECAN DELIGHT PIE



Wyatt's Cafeteria Pecan Delight Pie image

During the 80's the Star-Telegram newspaper was flooded with requests for anything and everything Wyatt's Cafeteria made. They printed as many of the recipes as they could get. This pie was my favorite at the cafeteria, so light and delicious. (Sorry recipe does not have how hot you need to cook, maybe 350, I don't remember now how hot I cooked it.)

Yield 1 PIE

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup saltine crackers, coarsely broken

2 teaspoons baking powder
4 egg whites

1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup chopped pecans

  • Spread sweetened whipped cream on top of cooled pie and sprinkle 1/4 cup pecans evenly over the cream.
  • Leftover pie should be covered and stored in refrigerator.

CARAMEL PECAN DELIGHT PIE! RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Caramel Pecan Delight Pie! Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Tricia33

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups rough chopped pecans
2 cups flaked coconut
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese softened
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (16 oz.) frozen whipped topping
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
2 graham cracker pie crusts

Steps:

  • In a skillet lightly brown the pecans and coconut in the butter. Set aside to cool. With an electric mixer blend the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping. Divide evenly between the two pie crusts. Top each with half of the pecan and coconut mixture. Drizzle the entire jar of caramel ice cream topping over the tops of both pies. Refrigerate or freeze for at least 3 - 4 hours. I think they cut best if you freeze them.
