Yield: 9 Inch Pie
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups flour
- 1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 10 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1½ cup chocolate baking chips or similar
- 5 oz caramel sauce
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Utensils
- 9 inch pie dish or similar sized
- Cooking spray or oil
- Large bowl
- Large spoon or paddle
- Aluminum foil
Let’s Make It!
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg, butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
- Mix in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spread onto the pie dish evenly. Bake for about 10 minutes or until edges firm up slightly.
- Remove pie dish from oven. Evenly sprinkle half the chocolate chips and all of the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and caramel sauce over pie.
- Put pie back into oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until there’s slight bubbling at edge of dish and the center starts to dry. Be careful not to overbake – it’s best to underbake if you’re worried.
- Remove pie and let cool in pie dish for two hours.
- Melt the rest of the chocolate chips into a spreadable consistency. Do this by microwaving in 15 second increments, stirring, and repeating. After 2-3 times of this, you may need to add around a tablespoon of milk or oil to get better consistency. Stir it in and check if that is the consistency you want. Add more as required. Aim for something that is around the thickness and consistency of Nutella or slightly thinner.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate on top using piping kit or utensil.
- Let pie cool for another hour or two until the chocolate drizzle and pie is more set.
- Cover and store. Can be kept at room temperature for a few days or put into the fridge or freezer for longer.
Notes & Alternatives
- Use a caramel topping/sauce that is slightly thicker than regular syrup. Salted and non-salted work equally well.
- Want a lower calorie or less carby option? I personally use Swerve sugar variants in my baking, and you can also use Lily’s chocolate chips. Replacing the flour used here with almond flour may also work.
- Want to store it longer? This freezes really well.
History
- The Girl Scouts was founded in 1912 by Juliette Low in order to get more girls more interested in the outdoors through educational programs.
- What type of pie is this? A Samoa, Caramel deLites, or a Keebler Coconut Dreams Pie?
