Description
Texas Trash Pie is a sweet and salty dessert that tastes like a candy bar in pie form. It’s easy to make in one bowl and bakes into a golden brown perfection. This Southern comfort food is a family favorite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup caramel bits
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed pretzels
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
- 1 frozen deep-dish pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, stir together chopped pecans, caramel bits, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, graham cracker crumbs, sweetened condensed milk, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the deep-dish pie crust and press into an even layer, smoothing the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is set. If browning too quickly, loosely tent with aluminum foil.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely (about 1 hour) on a wire rack before serving, or let cool for 20-25 minutes for a slightly warm, gooey texture.
Notes
- For a sweeter pie, use milk chocolate chips. For more balance, use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips. A mix of half milk and half semi-sweet is also recommended.
- To make gluten-free, use gluten-free pretzels, graham crackers, and pie crust.
- Serve at room temperature or slightly warm.
- Pairs well with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
