Submitted by nicoleingermantown

""The filling for this decadent pie is a combination of a very creamy, cream cheese and whipped topping. Then toasted coconut and caramel sauce is sprinkled and drizzled over it. Another cream cheese layer is spooned on, and then the pie is finished with more toasted coconut. This recipe makes two fantastic pies.""
