Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 10 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 4 to 5 ounces salted caramel sauce
- Additional melted chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Melt Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly to avoid cooking the egg in the next step.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Combine the melted butter with the egg, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract; whisk until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently mix in the all-purpose flour and salt, stirring just until the batter comes together without overmixing to maintain tenderness.
- Form the Crust: Spread the batter evenly across the greased pie dish, smoothing the top, then bake for approximately 10-12 minutes until the edges become firm and set.
- Add Toppings: Remove the pie crust from the oven and sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over it, then add the shredded coconut evenly on top of the chocolate chips.
- Drizzle Sauces: Evenly drizzle the sweetened condensed milk and salted caramel sauce over the chocolate chips and coconut layer.
- Bake Again: Return the pie to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes until the topping mixture is bubbly and set in the center.
- Cool and Garnish: Let the pie cool completely before drizzling melted chocolate over the top as a finishing touch to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Allow the melted butter to cool slightly before mixing with the egg to prevent scrambling.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the crust tender.
- The pie must cool completely before adding the final chocolate drizzle to avoid melting.
- Use salted caramel sauce to balance the sweetness of the condensed milk and chocolate.
- Store leftover pie in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated up to 5 days.
