Texas Trash Pie is a rich, indulgent dessert packed with chocolate, caramel, pretzels, coconut, and pecans baked into a buttery crust. Every bite delivers the perfect balance of sweet, salty, crunchy, and gooey flavors.

Ingredients

1 frozen deep dish pie crust (9 or 10-inch)

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup coarsely crushed pretzels

1 cup coarsely crushed graham crackers

1 cup shredded coconut

3/4 cup pecan pieces

1 cup caramel bits

1/2 cup (8 tbsp.) butter, melted

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and position the rack on the second to lowest level.
  2. Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Coarsely crush the pretzels and graham crackers, keeping some texture.
  4. Add chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, crushed graham crackers, shredded coconut, pecans, caramel bits, melted butter, and sweetened condensed milk to the bowl.
  5. Stir until fully combined.
  6. Pour the mixture into the frozen deep dish pie crust and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. If browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
  8. Remove from oven and cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use milk, dark, or white chocolate chips for flavor variations.

Swap pecans with walnuts if desired.

Add extra crushed pretzels on top for more crunch and saltiness.

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added richness.

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat slices in the microwave for 10–15 seconds if desired.

Freeze individual slices for longer storage and thaw before serving.
