Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 frozen deep-dish pie crust (9 or 10-inch)
- ½ cup (8 tbsps) butter, melted
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup pretzels, coarsely crushed
- 1 cup graham crackers, coarsely crushed
- 1 cup Kraft caramel bits
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- ¾ cup pecan pieces
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F, positioning the rack on the lower third for even heat circulation.
- Crust and Filling Fusion: Melt butter in a microwave-safe container, then crumble pretzels and graham crackers into rustic fragments. Combine melted butter with pretzels, graham crackers, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, pecan pieces, caramel bits, and sweetened condensed milk in a large mixing bowl.
- Mixing and Assembly: Blend ingredients thoroughly, ensuring an even distribution of flavors and textures. Pour the mixture into the pie crust, spreading it uniformly to create a rich, layered landscape of sweet and crunchy elements.
- Baking Technique: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. If the surface browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil to prevent excessive caramelization.
- Cooling and Serving: Remove the pie when the surface achieves a golden-brown color and the filling sets completely. Let it rest for 15 minutes to allow ingredients to meld and stabilize before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Prevent Over-Browning: Shield the pie’s surface with aluminum foil if edges brown too quickly, ensuring an evenly caramelized top without burning.
- Crush with Care: Break pretzels and graham crackers into rustic, uneven pieces to maintain textural integrity and provide delightful crunch throughout the pie.
- Precision Placement: Position the oven rack on the lower third for optimal heat distribution, guaranteeing consistent baking and perfect golden-brown results.
- Cooling Patience: Rest the pie for 15 minutes after baking, allowing ingredients to set and flavors to meld, creating a more stable and cohesive dessert.
