Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Crust: Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating a base layer for the pie.
  3. Add Layers: Evenly layer the shredded coconut on top of the graham cracker crumbs, followed by a layer of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and then the chopped pecans.
  4. Pour Sweetened Condensed Milk: Carefully pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the layered ingredients, ensuring all pieces are slightly covered to bind the pie together.
  5. Bake the Pie: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The top should turn golden brown and bubbly, indicating it’s perfectly cooked.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, slice into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened at room temperature for easier mixing if you decide to mix with crust or for future variations.
  • For a different flavor twist, try adding chopped dried fruits like cherries or apricots to the layering step.
  • Allow the pie to cool fully so it sets properly for clean slicing and serving.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
