Ingredients
1 deep-dish 9-inch pie crust
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup caramel bits
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 can sweetened condensed milk, 14 ounces
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Add the flour and stir just until combined.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips, caramel bits, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans.
5. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir until the filling is evenly mixed.
6. Spoon the filling into the prepared pie crust and spread it into an even layer.
7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is mostly set with a slight jiggle.
8. Cool the pie completely before slicing so the filling can firm up properly.
Notes
Do not slice the pie while it is still hot, or the filling may fall apart instead of setting into clean, gooey slices.
