Ingredients

2 Prepared Graham Cracker Pie Crusts Or homemade
¼ Cup Butter 1/2 stick softened
½ Cup Chopped Pecans
7 oz Sweetened Flaked Coconut
1 8 oz Cream Cheese softened
1 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk 14 oz.
12 oz Caramel Topping Hershey brand or similar, may be listed as ice cream topping (no nuts). My jar had 14 oz, so I used about 3/4 of it.
2 8 oz Containers of Frozen Whipped Topping thawed in refrigerator
1 ½ Cup Cooked Sweet Potatoes This is the secret ingredient! To use canned potatoes, drain liquid and cream until smooth. You can also boil sweet potatoes, remove skins and cream. Be sure to cool completely before blending into mixture.

Instructions

Add butter, coconut, and pecans to skillet and cook over low to medium heat until nicely browned.
Remove from heat and allow to cool. Must be cool before adding to pie.
Combine softened cream cheese, cooled or room temperature sweet potatoes, and sweetened condensed milk. Beat until smooth.
Fold in whipped topping gently, just enough to blend.
Spoon some of the filling into each pie crust.
Sprinkle toasted coconut and pecans over the filling.
Drizzle caramel topping over coconut and pecans.
Repeat with another layer of filling, coconut and pecans and caramel topping.
Cover tightly with tin foil and place in freezer.
Serve frozen and return to freezer.
