Make this gooey, rich Texas Trash Pie for a crowd-pleasing dessert. It combines chocolate chips, coconut, pecans, and toffee in a buttery crust for an indulgent sweet and salty treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ready-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the graham cracker crust on a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, pecans, and toffee bits. Mix these dry ingredients gently.
  3. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated. The mixture will be very thick.
  5. Spoon the entire filling mixture evenly into the prepared graham cracker crust. Spread it out gently.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is mostly firm but still slightly gooey.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Cooling helps the pie set properly.
  8. Serve this decadent party food at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Notes

  • For a sweet and salty dessert variation, fold in 1 cup of crushed pretzels with the other mix-ins.
  • This pie is excellent served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • You can substitute walnuts for pecans if you prefer.
