Ingredients
1 pre-made deep-dish pie crust
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup crushed pretzels
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and set your deep-dish pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Pre-bake if using a graham cracker crust.
2. In a large bowl, mix chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, pecans, pretzels, and crushed graham crackers until evenly combined.
3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry mix and fold everything together until coated.
5. Spoon the mixture into the pie crust and spread evenly, pressing gently to form a cohesive layer.
6. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown on top and bubbly at the edges.
7. Let the pie cool completely in the dish—at least 2 hours at room temperature or 1 hour in the fridge.
8. Slice and serve as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
For cleaner slices, let the pie cool completely before cutting. Refrigerating speeds this up.
Swap ingredients like nuts or chips based on what you have. It’s a pantry-friendly recipe.
Don’t overbake—remove the pie when the center is still a bit soft for the best texture.
