Make this simple, baked Texas Trash Pie for an indulgent, sweet and salty dessert. It combines chocolate, pretzels, pecans, and caramel in a single crust, requiring minimal effort for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 inch) frozen, unbaked pie crust
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup caramel bits
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the frozen pie crust on a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, chocolate chips, coconut, pecans, caramel bits, and graham crackers. Mix these dry ingredients together.
  3. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Fold everything together gently until all the dry components are coated with the milk mixture.
  5. Carefully spoon the entire filling mixture into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Cooling allows the filling to set properly.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the mix.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate based on your preference.
  • This pie is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
