This Samoas Cookie Pie is a deliciously indulgent treat inspired by the classic Girl Scout cookie. It features a buttery cookie crust topped with semi-sweet chocolate chips, shredded sweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and salted caramel sauce, all baked to gooey perfection and finished with a rich chocolate drizzle. This pie combines chewy, chocolaty, caramel-coconut flavors into a decadent dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust and 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)

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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray, then set it aside while you prepare the crust.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter on high power for about 1 minute. Allow it to cool slightly to avoid scrambling the egg in the next step.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the melted butter. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix, to maintain a tender crust texture.
  5. Prepare and Bake Crust: Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top lightly with a spatula. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges start to firm up and the center begins to set slightly. The crust is not fully baked yet as it will return to the oven later.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the pie dish from the oven and evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the crust.
  7. Add Coconut: Evenly sprinkle the shredded sweetened coconut layer on top of the chocolate chips.
  8. Drizzle Sweetened Condensed Milk: Drizzle about two-thirds of a 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the coconut layer. Eyeball the amount for even coverage.
  9. Drizzle Caramel Sauce: Following the condensed milk, drizzle 4 to 5 ounces of salted caramel sauce evenly over the top.
  10. Bake Final Layer: Return the pie to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes. Watch carefully, especially during the last 10 minutes, to avoid burning the coconut, caramel, and condensed milk. Bake until you see slight bubbling near edges and the center is more set but still moist. The pie will firm up more as it cools.
  11. Melt Chocolate for Drizzle: While the pie cools on a wire rack, melt 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for about 1 minute, stirring every 10 seconds until smooth and fully melted.
  12. Drizzle Melted Chocolate: Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate in long vertical lines spaced about 1/2 inch apart across the top of the pie. The pie does not need to be fully cooled to add the chocolate drizzle.
  13. Cool and Set: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 4 hours or overnight. This rest time ensures the chocolate drizzle sets properly and the pie firms up for clean slicing.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the pie to avoid burning the coconut and caramel toppings; underbaking slightly is better.
  • Make sure to let the pie cool completely before slicing to achieve clean cuts and set texture.
  • You can substitute regular caramel sauce if salted caramel is not available, but salted caramel adds a nice contrast.
  • The shredded coconut should be loosely packed to maintain the right texture and coverage.
  • If desired, use a piping bag with a small tip for a more decorative chocolate drizzle.
  • This pie is best served at room temperature or chilled for a firmer texture.
