Description

Texas Trash Pie is a decadent, no-fuss dessert combining a deep-dish pie crust filled with a rich mixture of sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, toffee bits, crushed pretzels, shredded coconut, and toasted pecans. Baked until golden and bubbly, then chilled for a perfect slice of gooey, crunchy indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 deep-dish pie crust

Filling

  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits
  • 1/2 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup chopped toasted pecans


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the deep-dish pie crust onto a baking sheet to ensure stability while baking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, toffee bits, crushed pretzels, shredded sweetened coconut, and chopped toasted pecans.
  3. Mix Filling: Gently stir all the ingredients together until they are fully combined and the mixture is evenly coated with the sweetened condensed milk.
  4. Fill Pie Crust: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly so it covers the whole crust surface.
  5. Bake: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Cool and Chill: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Then chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing to allow it to set perfectly.

Notes

  • Placing the pie crust on a baking sheet helps prevent spilling and makes it easier to handle.
  • Chilling the pie after baking enhances slicing and texture.
  • Use toasted pecans for a richer flavor and crunch.
  • You can experiment with different types of nuts or candy bits for variation.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
