Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) light brown sugar
- 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (80 grams) sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 can (14 ounces or 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) salted caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350°F and coat a 9-inch pie dish thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then cool slightly. Incorporate egg, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency.
- Gently fold flour and salt into the wet ingredients, mixing minimally to maintain a tender crust. Transfer batter to the prepared pie dish, smoothing the surface evenly.
- Partially bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until edges become slightly firm while the center remains soft.
- Remove pie from oven and distribute chocolate chips across the surface. Layer shredded coconut generously, then drizzle sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce over the entire pie.
- Return pie to oven and continue baking for 25 minutes. Monitor closely during the final 10 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Look for subtle bubbling and a more stabilized center.
- After removing from oven, melt remaining chocolate chips in the microwave for approximately 1 minute. Carefully create decorative chocolate drizzles across the pie’s surface using a spoon or piping tool.
- Allow pie to rest and set completely at room temperature for 4-6 hours. Overnight cooling is recommended for optimal texture and flavor development.
Notes
- Toasting coconut beforehand intensifies its nutty, caramel-like flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the pie’s texture.
- For a gluten-free version, swap all-purpose flour with almond or coconut flour, ensuring the same delicate, tender crust.
- Prevent chocolate drizzle from becoming too runny by adding a teaspoon of coconut oil while melting, creating a smoother, more controlled coating.
