Note
Store leftover Hello Dollies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.
You can substitute the vanilla wafers with graham crackers for a slightly different flavor profile. Ensure the crumbs are fine for a smooth crust.
If you prefer a crunchier topping, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the mixture. Watch closely during baking to prevent the coconut from burning.
