Coconut Caramel Pie

This is the Pie I made for Thanksgiving a few years ago. It is delicious.

1 package flaked coconut (7 ounces)
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 carton whipped topping (16 ounces)
1 package cream cheese (8 ounces)
1 jar caramel topping (12 ounces)
2 deep dish pie shells, baked

Preparation: Melt butter in a heavy skillet. Add coconut and chopped pecans; cook until browned lightly then set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and condensed milk; beat well. Fold in whipped topping. Put 1/4 of the mixture into each pie shell. Drizzle 1/4 jar of the caramel topping on each, then sprinkle with about 1/4 of the coconut-pecan mixture. Repeat layers. Freeze. Serve frozen.

Caramel Pumpkin Pecan Gingersnap Cheesecake

We came across this recipe and thought it sounded good. We just used a graham cracker crust from the store and only made half of the recipe. We also didn't put the pecans or caramel on top.

PW’s Caramel Pumpkin Pecan Gingersnap Cheesecake
also known as: PW’s Pumpkin Cheesecake

**Can be halved for a smaller springform pan

Crust:
12 ounces storebought gingersnaps
1/2 cup chopped pecans
6 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Dash of salt

Filling:
4 packages cream cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
4 eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 jar caramel topping
Extra chopped pecans
Extra crushed gingersnaps

In a food processor (or large ziploc bag) crush gingersnaps. Add chopped pecans, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt, and pulse (or mix) until thoroughly combined.
Press into bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Chill for 20-30 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin and spices and mix again. Add eggs one at a time, mixing for 20 seconds between each addition. Add cream and mix until just combined.

Remove crust from fridge. Pour 1/2 jar of caramel topping on crust. Sprinkle caramel with chopped pecans. Gently pour cheesecake filling in pan. Even out the top with a flat spatula.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until no longer soupy. Cheesecake should still be somewhat jiggly. Cool on counter for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, pour the rest of the caramel topping over the top. Smooth with a flat spatula until evenly smooth. Cover and chill cheesecake for another four hours or overnight.

Remove rim from pan and slice. Sprinkle each slice with extra crushed gingersnaps.

Razzleberry Pie Filling

We got this recipe from Scott's mom. It is a great tasting Razzleberry Pie. We used the berry mix that we got at Costco for the berries. We also used a pie crust that you can bake from the store. We also didn't put any crust on the top of it.



Razzleberry Pie Filling

1 1/3 cup water
1 scant cup sugar
1/4 cup rounded cornstarch or red pie gel diluted in a bit of water

Cook on stove top until thick. Cool and add
1 cup boysenberries
1 cup blackberries
1 cup raspberries

Pour into an uncooked pie shell and add a top layer of pie crust. Make sure you cut slits in the top crust to allow the steam to be released.

Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes or until the pie is bubbling.
