Texas Trash Pie
A deliciously irresistible dessert with a creamy filling featuring chocolate chips, nuts, and a buttery graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
For the crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs Can be substituted with crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) Feel free to swap out for your favorite nuts.
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate evenly to form the crust.
- Layer the chocolate chips onto the crust, followed by the chopped nuts and shredded coconut.
- Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the filling, ensuring it covers all the ingredients.
Baking
- Place the pie in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Serving
- Once baked, allow your Texas Trash Pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve it warm or chilled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
Tips for perfecting Texas Trash Pie: Feel free to swap out nuts or include your favorite candies for a unique twist. If the edges are browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm a slice in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
