🧁 What Is Texas Trash Pie?
Texas Trash Pie is a gooey, pecan-rich, chocolate-chip-studded pie that also features pretzels, coconut, graham crackers, and more. Think of it as a glorious mash-up of all your favorite pantry snacks, baked into one swoon-worthy dessert. It’s crunchy, chewy, sweet, salty, and completely addicting.
📝 Ingredients:
– 1 pre-made deep-dish pie crust (or homemade, if you like)
– 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 cup white chocolate chips
– 1 cup chopped pecans
– ½ cup crushed pretzels
– ½ cup crushed graham crackers
– 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
– ¼ tsp salt
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Optional: sprinkle of sea salt or a drizzle of caramel sauce on top after baking!
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. If using a frozen pie crust, allow it to thaw for about 10 minutes. Place the crust on a baking sheet (to prevent spills during baking).
3. In a large bowl, combine coconut, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, pecans, crushed pretzels, and graham crackers. Mix until well combined.
4. Pour the mixture into your pie crust and spread it out evenly.
5. In a separate bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, salt, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture over the pie filling evenly.
6. Gently press down the filling so the condensed milk soaks in and holds everything together.
7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is bubbling slightly at the edges.
8. Remove from oven and let it cool completely to set — at least 2 hours. For best results, chill in the refrigerator before slicing.
9. Optional: Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with flaky sea salt for an extra hit of sweet ‘n’ salty goodness.
🍽 Serve it up!
Slice and serve solo, or go big by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. However you do it, just be prepared for everyone asking you for the recipe!
