Macadamia & Coconut Topping for Sweet Potato Pie image

This is a recipe I created to top a sweet Potato pie that did not have enough filling in the crust. I had roasted 4 rather large sweet potatoes, thinking it was enough to make @ least 2 deep dish pies. I ended up having about 1 and a half, so I baked it as usual, but decided I needed something to finish filling the pie crust...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lg can evaporated milk
3/4 c brown sugar packed
1/4 c all purpose flour or wondra
1/2 c macadamia nuts, chopped
1/3 c cups chopped pecans
1/2 stick butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4-1 c shredded unsweetened coconut

Steps:

  • 1. Add milk butter to a small sauce pan. In a small bowl Mix brown sugar with flour, and pour into liquid. Heat slowly over low heat till butter melts and mixture begins to thicken.
  • 2. Remove from heat add vanilla, both chopped nuts, & shredded coconut. Stir to combine. Then spread mixture over top of pie, or several pies if desired. Chill till ready to serve.
  • 3. You could also try this between cake layers with another type of frosting if desired. I used 2 types of nuts because I wanted to use up the Macadamia nuts left over from making White Chocolate Chip cookies, and there weren't enough so I combined the two nuts. To create this recipe.
