Make this rich, indulgent Texas Trash Pie. It combines a buttery crust with a sweet, gooey filling packed with chocolate chips, pecans, coconut, and toffee bits for a decadent, easy dessert perfect for potlucks or holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (or make your own butter crust)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup toffee bits (like Heath bar pieces)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional, for extra goo)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Spread the chocolate chips, pecans, coconut, toffee bits, and marshmallows (if using) evenly across the bottom of the unbaked pie crust. This creates the layers of texture.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg, and vanilla extract until they are fully combined.
  4. Carefully pour the milk mixture over the dry ingredients in the pie crust. Distribute the filling evenly.
  5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown around the edges. The center should still look slightly soft.
  6. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Cooling allows the gooey filling to set properly.
  7. Slice and serve this decadent sweet treat. It is excellent served slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a sweet and salty treat, you can substitute half a cup of crushed pretzels for some of the pecans.
  • If you want a richer flavor, use a graham cracker crust instead of a traditional pastry crust.
  • This pie tastes great served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
