Make this simple, no-bake Texas Trash Pie, a decadent dessert blending sweet and salty flavors with chocolate, pecans, and pretzels.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 inch) frozen deep-dish pie crust
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the frozen pie crust on a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Pour in the melted butter and mix until just combined.
  4. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, pecans, crushed pretzels, and coconut, if you are using it. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the mixture evenly into the unbaked frozen pie crust.
  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This pie sets up as it cools.
  9. Serve slices plain or with a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • This recipe is very rich; consider serving smaller slices.
  • If you skip the coconut, you might want to add a few more chocolate chips for richness.
  • For an easy start, use a store-bought frozen pie crust.
  • This pie is great for meal planning because it holds up well for several days.
