Discover the legendary Texas Trash Pie, an easy dessert that perfectly balances sweet and salty flavors. This recipe uses simple pantry ingredients to create a gooey, crunchy, and decadent treat ideal for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 inch) frozen pie crust
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup caramel bits
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup crushed mini pretzels
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the frozen pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add the chocolate chips, caramel bits, graham cracker crumbs, coconut, crushed pretzels, and pecans to the milk mixture. Stir gently until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Pour the entire mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Spread the filling evenly.
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
  6. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Cooling allows the gooey filling to set properly.
  7. Serve this crowd pleaser dessert warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, you can lightly toast the pecans before adding them to the filling.
  • If you do not have caramel bits, use 1/2 cup of soft caramel candies, unwrapped and slightly softened.
  • This pie is rich; serve small slices for a satisfying treat.
