Title: Texas Trash Pie
Categories: Pies, Pastry, Dairy, Chocolate, Nuts
Yield: 6 Servings
1 Pie crust; chilled
1 1/2 c Whole pretzels (56 g); more
- for topping as desired
6 Graham cracker sheets (92 g)
1 c Caramel squares (195 g)
1 c Pecans (113 g)
1 c Sweetened shredded coconut
- (86 g)
2/3 c Semi-sweetened chocolate
- chips (140 g)
1/3 c Dark chocolate chips (65 g)
14 oz Can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c Unsalted butter (113 g);
- melted
1/2 ts Kosher salt
Set the oven to 425 F/218 C.
Arrange oven one rack in the lower third and one in the middle of
the oven.
Line a 9" pie plate with the pie dough, pressing into the corners
so it sits flush with the plate. Use a pair of scissors or a sharp
knife to trim the excess dough if needed, leaving about a 1/2"
overhang. Fold the overhanging dough underneath itself to build up
the crust and crimp as desired. Prick the bottom and sides of the
crust all over with a fork. Freeze for 10 minutes until firm.
Once firm, line the crust with parchment and fill it with dried
beans or pie weights. Bake on the lower rack until the crust edge
is lightly golden and matte, 15 to 17 minutes.
Remove from the oven and carefully remove the parchment and
weights. Lightly re-prick the crust and gently press down any spots
bubbling up, if needed. Return the crust to the lower rack of the
oven and continue to bake until the bottom and sides are matte and
dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool set over a wire rack until room
temperature, about 45 minutes.
While the crust cools, prepare the filling. Chop the pretzels; you
should have about 1 cup chopped. Crush the graham crackers and add
them to a large bowl with the pretzels. Finely chop the caramels
using a greased sharp knife, yielding about 1-1/4 cups. Chop the
pecans and add everything to the large bowl.
Toss in the coconut and both kinds of chocolate chips and mix to
combine.
Turn the oven down to 350 F/175 C.
In another bowl, use a rubber spatula to mix the sweetened
condensed milk, melted butter, and salt until combined. Pour over
the pretzel mixture and fold until evenly combined. The filling
will be thick.
Scrape the filling into the room-temperature pie crust and use the
rubber spatula to gently press into an even layer. Top with more
whole pretzels as desired.
Bake the pie on the middle rack until the filling is set and golden
on top, 40 to 45 minutes. If the top edge crust is getting too
dark, you can use a crust shield or ring of foil to cover it.
Cool the pie set over a wire rack until warm but not hot, about
1 hour. Slice and serve.
If serving the next day, cool the pie completely, then loosely
cover and store at room temperature. Leftovers can be stored
tightly covered in the pie plate at room temperature for up to
2 days or sliced and stored in an airtight container at room
temperature for up to 4 days.
