12 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 10-inch frozen pie crust or 1 (9-inch) deep-dish pie crust
- 1 c chocolate chips
- 1 c crushed pretzels
- 1 c crushed graham crackers
- 1 c shredded coconut
- 1 c pecan pieces
- 1 c caramel bits
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grab that pie crust out of the freezer. Let it hang out while we get the filling ready.
- Melt your butter in the microwave until it’s nice and smooth. While that’s happening, crush up your pretzels and graham crackers—no need to be precise. A mix of big and small chunks makes for great texture!
- Now, toss everything into a big bowl: the chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, graham crackers, shredded coconut, pecans, caramel bits, melted butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Give it a good stir so that all those ingredients are coated and combined into one delicious mess.
- Pour the filling into your pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Pop it in the oven for about 35 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the filling is set. Once it’s done, let it cool for a good 30 minutes. I know it’s tough to wait, but cutting into it too soon might get a little messy!
Notes
Want to make this recipe gluten-free? It’s super easy! Just swap out the regular pretzels and graham crackers for gluten-free versions. These days, you can find gluten-free pretzels and graham crackers at almost any grocery store, so it’s a simple switch that doesn’t change the flavor or texture. Everything else in this pie is naturally gluten-free—chocolate, coconut, pecans, caramel, and butter are all safe. So go ahead and enjoy this indulgent dessert, even if you’re cutting out the gluten!
