This pie bakes to a gooey, chewy texture reminiscent of the iconic cookie, making it perfect for fans craving a nostalgic treat in pie form.

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)
  • 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 thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then set the dish aside.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter by heating it on high power for about 1 minute. Be sure to monitor so it doesn’t boil over.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Let the melted butter cool briefly to avoid scrambling the egg. Then add the egg, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the butter. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour and salt. Combine everything just until mixed; avoid overmixing to keep the crust tender.
  5. Shape and Par-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 firm up slightly and the center begins to set, though it will still be soft.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the pie from the oven and evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the partially baked crust.
  7. Sprinkle Coconut: Evenly distribute the shredded coconut over the chocolate chips on the crust.
  8. Drizzle Sweetened Condensed Milk: Drizzle approximately two-thirds of a 14-ounce can (about 10 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the coconut layer.
  9. Add Caramel Sauce: Drizzle 4 to 5 ounces of salted caramel sauce evenly over the entire top.
  10. Finish Baking: Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes. Look for bubbling near the edges and a set center. Be cautious during the last 10 minutes to prevent burning the coconut, caramel, and condensed milk layers.
  11. Cool and Melt Drizzle Chocolate: Remove the pie from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl by heating on high for 1 minute, stirring every 10 seconds until smooth.
  12. Drizzle Chocolate: Using a spoon or piping method, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled pie in long, parallel vertical lines spaced about half an inch apart. Chocolate drizzle can be added while the pie is still slightly warm.
  13. Final Cooling and Setting: Allow the pie to cool completely on the wire rack for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight. This time is necessary for the chocolate drizzle to set and the pie’s interior to firm up fully before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Watch closely in the final stages of baking to avoid burning the coconut and caramel toppings; it’s better to slightly underbake than overbake.
  • Do not slice the pie too soon after baking to prevent a messy, unset filling; patience is key for the perfect texture.
  • You can substitute regular caramel sauce if salted caramel is unavailable, but the salted caramel adds a signature balance to the sweet flavors.
  • When measuring shredded coconut, loosely fill the cup rather than packing it to ensure the correct quantity.
  • Using freshly melted chocolate for drizzling adds a lovely decoration and enhances the chocolate flavor dramatically.
