Make this easy Texas Trash Pie for a crowd-pleasing dessert. It combines a buttery crust with a gooey filling packed with chocolate chips, pecans, coconut, and pretzels for a perfect sweet and salty texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9 inch)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Place the graham cracker crust on a baking sheet.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, pecans, and crushed pretzels. Mix these dry ingredients well.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is coated. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. Spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is mostly firm but still slightly gooey.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly.
  9. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. This is an indulgent sweet treat.

Notes

  • For extra richness, you can substitute some butterscotch chips with toffee bits.
  • If you prefer a more savory element, increase the amount of crushed pretzels slightly.
  • This pie tastes best when served the day it is made, but you can store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • Serving this pie warm with vanilla ice cream makes it a truly decadent dessert.
