How to Make Coconut Praline Dream Pie

  1. Preheat oven to the temperature specified on your pie crust box. Thaw pie crust completely according to package directions. Bake the crust until golden brown, following the instructions on the box.
  2. Let the baked pie crust cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup pecan halves or walnuts, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  4. Boil for exactly 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Immediately remove from heat and pour the hot praline mixture into the cooled pie crust, spreading evenly across the bottom.
  5. Allow the praline layer to cool completely.
  6. In a large bowl, beat 1 (8 ounce) container of frozen whipped topping, 1 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer on high speed for 6 minutes, or until soft peaks form.
  7. Add 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix and the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk to the whipped topping mixture.
  8. Beat on low speed until just combined.
  9. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  10. Gently stir in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut.
  11. Pour the coconut filling into the cooled praline-lined pie crust.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
