Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided
- 1 1/4 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup soft caramel candies, unwrapped
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- Sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)
Directions
Step 1: Prep and Preheat
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or line with parchment paper.
Step 2: Toast the Coconut
- Spread the sweetened shredded coconut in an even layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 6-8 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Step 3: Make the Cookie Dough
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and half of the toasted coconut.
Step 4: Bake the Base
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pie dish. Bake for 20-23 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is just set. Cool completely before topping.
Step 5: Make the Caramel Coconut Topping
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the caramels are melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
- Stir in the remaining toasted coconut.
- Spread the caramel coconut mixture evenly over the cooled cookie base.
Step 6: Add the Chocolate Drizzle
- Melt the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-coconut layer. Sprinkle with sea salt, if using.
Step 7: Slice and Serve
- Let the pie set at room temperature or chill for 20-30 minutes until firm. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- Be careful when toasting coconut—it can burn quickly, so keep an eye on it!
- You can use homemade caramel sauce instead of soft caramels for a richer flavor.
- This pie is easiest to slice after chilling in the fridge for 30 minutes.
