Texas Trash Pie
Texas Trash Pie is a wildly indulgent dessert that throws all the rules out the window. It’s a gooey, sweet, salty, crunchy, and chewy pie made with a mix of pantry favorites like chocolate chips, pretzels, coconut, and more—all baked into a buttery crust. This pie is a celebration of texture and flavor, earning its name by tossing “everything but the kitchen sink” into one unforgettable dessert. Perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, or anytime you’re craving something fun and over-the-top.
Ingredients
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup crushed pretzels
½ cup graham cracker crumbs
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup white chocolate chips
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges as desired.
In a large bowl, combine the coconut, crushed pretzels, graham cracker crumbs, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and chopped pecans.
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir everything together until well mixed. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
Spoon the filling into the prepared pie crust and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the top.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Let the pie cool completely before slicing. The filling will set as it cools, creating a dense, chewy texture.
Notes
This pie is very rich, so small slices go a long way. You can swap out the mix-ins to suit your taste or pantry—try butterscotch chips, toffee bits, or peanuts. Make sure to let the pie cool fully to help it slice cleanly. It can be served at room temperature or chilled, and it pairs especially well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
