Make this classic Texas Trash Pie, an extremely sweet and gooey dessert packed with chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut in a buttery crust. It is a simple, crowd-pleasing comfort food perfect for potlucks and holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (or graham cracker crust)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place your pie crust on a baking sheet.
  2. Sprinkle the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, pecans, and marshmallows evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the milk mixture slowly and evenly over the ingredients in the pie crust.
  5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden around the edges.
  6. Let the Texas Trash Pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Cooling helps the gooey filling set properly.
  7. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. This is an indulgent baked good that tastes great warm with ice cream.

Notes

  • For a sweet and salty dessert variation, add 1 cup of crushed pretzels to the filling mixture before pouring the condensed milk over the top.
  • If you prefer a richer crust, use a homemade shortbread crust instead of a store-bought pie crust.
  • This pie is excellent served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
