Make this easy Texas Trash Pie for a crowd-pleasing, decadent treat. It combines chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans in a sweet, gooey filling baked in a buttery crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Sprinkle the chocolate chips, coconut, pecans, and butterscotch chips evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. This creates your gooey binder.
  4. Carefully pour the condensed milk mixture over the dry ingredients in the pie crust, distributing it evenly.
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown around the edges. The center should be mostly firm when gently shaken.
  6. Let the Texas Trash Pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. This allows the gooey filling to set properly.
  7. Serve this indulgent sweet treat at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Notes

  • For an extra sweet and salty dessert variation, you can substitute 1/2 cup of the pecans with crushed pretzels before baking.
  • You can use a graham cracker crust for a buttery crust dessert base if you prefer a different texture.
  • This dessert tastes great served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
