Coconut Caramel Pudding Pie is an easy mix and bake recipe. Gooey, sweet, coconut and caramel rich pudding, best served with custard, cream or ice-cream
I am not sure whether to call this a Pudding or a Pie. The dessert slices easily, but the center texture is more like a Pudding. Well, now we have a Coconut Caramel Pudding Pie !
It is definitely better to serve warm with ice-cream, whipped cream or even custard.
Although, the cold leftover piece the following morning went down quite well with a cup of tea 😉
The top cracks a bit, but it does not interfere when cutting into slices.
Then I decided the Pudding Pie is rich enough to serve as is, with the suggestions as mentioned above.
I like mine with a thinnish custard whereas hubby and my son prefer ice-cream. They love warm puddings and pies with ice-cream melting into the desserts (and then they go on and mash everything up as well !)
Can you see that gooey, sweet coconut caramel filling ? Absolutely divine !
Especially comforting on a chilly evening. We have had a lot of thunderstorms and rain lately, which left the evenings a little cold. Very unusual for Gauteng at this time of Summer.
Usually, most of the rain would have dropped to maybe once a week, as we have Summer rains, but this year round, the rain just kept coming.
Before we get on to the recipe, just a tiny note on the baking: start watching the Pie after 30 minutes in the oven. If it browns too quickly, place a loose piece of aluminum foil (shiny side up) over the baking dessert.

In the South, we call this a custard pie. There are many different flavors of custard pies, even chocolate. I'm anxious to try you recipe as I've never had one with caramels in it !! Yum
