Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust & Base

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick, melted)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Layers & Toppings

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for sprinkling)
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut (loosely laid in measuring cup, not packed)
  • two-thirds of one 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk (about 10 ounces)
  • 4 to 5 ounces salted caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought; regular caramel sauce may be substituted)
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9-inch pie dish generously with cooking spray to ensure the pie doesn’t stick; set aside.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter by heating it for about 1 minute on high power. Allow to cool slightly so it doesn’t scramble the egg.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the melted butter, then whisk the mixture until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep a tender texture.
  5. Form the Crust: Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top lightly with a spatula. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges start to firm and the center begins to set but is not fully cooked.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the pie from the oven and evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips over the partially baked crust.
  7. Add Coconut Layer: Evenly distribute the shredded coconut over the chocolate chips layer.
  8. Drizzle Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the coconut layer, eyeballing the amount to cover.
  9. Drizzle Caramel Sauce: Evenly drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the previous layers, again eyeballing to coat.
  10. Bake Again: Return the pie to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes until you see bubbling near the edges and the center looks set but not dry. Watch closely during the last 10 minutes to prevent burning of coconut, caramel, and condensed milk; underbaking is safer than overbaking here.
  11. Cool and Melt Drizzle Chocolate: While the pie cools on a wire rack, melt 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute, stirring every 10 seconds until smooth and fully melted.
  12. Drizzle Melted Chocolate: Use a spoon (or a pastry bag/ziptop bag with a small cut corner for precision) to drizzle the melted chocolate in long, vertical, parallel lines about 1/2-inch apart. The pie doesn’t have to be fully cooled for this step.
  13. Chill and Set: Allow the pie to cool completely on the wire rack for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This will help the chocolate drizzle set and the interior firm up properly to avoid a messy slice.

Notes

  • Use loosely packed shredded coconut for better texture and even layering.
  • Keep an eye on the pie during the final bake to prevent burning of the delicate toppings.
  • Allowing the pie to cool thoroughly is crucial for clean slicing and proper texture.
  • If you don’t have salted caramel sauce, regular caramel sauce is an acceptable substitute but may alter the flavor slightly.
  • For more precise chocolate drizzle, use a small piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a small corner snipped off.
