Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1¼ cups of sweetened shredded coconut flakes, ¾ cup of chopped pecans, 20 ounces of crushed pineapple, ½ cup of chopped maraschino cherries, and 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk. Stir until evenly coated and achieve a consistent texture.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of thawed whipped topping into the creamy mixture until smooth and uniform.
- Spread the filling evenly into a prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 7 hours.
- Transfer the pie to the freezer and let it chill for 1 hour before serving.
- Prepare the remaining ½ cup of whipped topping in a piping bag or zip-top bag. Pipe decorative dollops on the pie once it's set.
- Garnish with whole maraschino cherries, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of toasted coconut flakes, and the remaining ¼ cup of chopped pecans.

Notes
Ensure crushed pineapple is well-drained to prevent a soggy crust. Fold whipped topping gently to maintain the fluffy texture. Allow the pie to chill properly for enhanced flavor.
