This pie is fudgy and delicious. It is described as a brownie in a pie shell, and it’s perfect for any occasion!
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
As the name suggests, this pie originated in North Carolina. It’s easy to make, rich, and decadent! Has a brownie-like texture in a pie crust. This delicious dessert is perfect for the holiday season, and it never lasts long at a tailgate either. No mixer needed for this easy pie, and it’s perfect topped with whipped topping or ice cream.
SWAPS & ADDITIONS
You can substitute the pecans with walnuts. Can substitute 1/4 cup peanut butter for the coconut or sub another 1/4 cup chocolate chips for the coconut.


⭐TIP
We baked this pie for 40 minutes and it turned out with a brownie-like texture. Some folks prefer theirs a little less done for a gooier center, so just test the middle and bake it to your desired level of gooeyness.
