Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut on a baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes until golden. Set aside.
- Mix graham crackers with melted butter and press into a pie dish to form the crust.
- Beat cream cheese and cream of coconut until smooth and fluffy.
- Add rum extract and mix well.
- Fold in whipped topping gently until combined.
- Fold in pineapple, cherries, and pecans.
- Spread filling into crust and smooth the top.
- Sprinkle toasted coconut over the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Make sure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps. Drain pineapple thoroughly to prevent a watery filling. Chill at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for clean slices. Do not confuse cream of coconut with coconut milk.
