preparation
Prepare pastry shells. In large skillet, melt butter or margarine; stir in coconut and pecans. Cook and stir over medium heat until coconut is golden, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cool. In large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth; gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk on low speed. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon in 1/4 of the mixture into each pastry shell; drizzle each with 1/4 of the caramel topping and sprinkle with 1/4 of the coconut mixture. Repeat layers. Cover and freeze 5 hours or until firm. Serve or freeze, covered, for up to 2 weeks. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes before serving, if frozen. |
