Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free)
- Pinch of salt
For the Filling
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (use dairy-free caramel for vegan/dairy-free option)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Combine cold unsalted butter, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press the mixture evenly into a pie dish to form a sturdy crust.
- Toast the Coconut: Spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until golden and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Gently fold in toasted coconut and chocolate chips to distribute evenly.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Drizzle caramel sauce in swirls over the surface and use a knife or skewer to create marbled patterns.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the pie in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center. Let it cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for best texture.
- Add Final Chocolate Drizzle: Melt additional chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of the chilled pie in ribbons for a decadent finish.
Notes
- Use cold butter for a flaky crust that holds the filling well.
- Do not skip toasting the coconut to enhance flavor and texture.
- Avoid overbaking; the center should be slightly jiggly before cooling.
- Use high-quality caramel sauce or make your own for best results.
- Chill the pie fully for easier slicing and improved flavor melding.
