Samoas Cookie Pie is a decadent dessert inspired by the beloved Samoas cookies, featuring a buttery crust topped with semi-sweet chocolate, sweetened shredded coconut, rich caramel, and sweetened condensed milk, all drizzled with smooth melted chocolate. This pie combines layers of gooey caramel and chocolate with a soft, cookie-like base, baked to perfection for an indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust and Base

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick, melted)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Toppings and Fillings

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for sprinkling)
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut (loosely laid in measuring cup, not packed)
  • two-thirds of one 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk (about 10 ounces)
  • 4 to 5 ounces salted caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought, regular caramel sauce may be substituted)
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9-inch pie dish thoroughly with cooking spray and set aside to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter by microwaving on high power for about 1 minute, making sure it’s fully melted but not burning.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Allow the melted butter to cool slightly to avoid scrambling the egg. Add one large egg, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the butter, then whisk together until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain cookie-like tenderness.
  5. Form and Pre-Bake Crust: Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top lightly with a spatula. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are slightly firm and the center begins to set but is not fully baked.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the crust.
  7. Add Coconut: Evenly sprinkle 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut over the chocolate chips, covering the surface uniformly.
  8. Drizzle Sweetened Condensed Milk: Evenly drizzle about two-thirds of a 14-ounce can (about 10 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk over the coconut layer, ensuring full coverage.
  9. Add Caramel Sauce: Evenly drizzle 4 to 5 ounces of salted caramel sauce over the pie, distributing it consistently to infuse the layers with rich caramel flavor.
  10. Final Bake: Return the pie to the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. Look for slight bubbling near the edges and a more set center. Watch carefully during the last 10 minutes to avoid burning the coconut, caramel, and condensed milk, as these ingredients can burn quickly. It’s better to underbake slightly as the pie will firm up upon cooling.
  11. Melt Chocolate for Drizzle: While the pie cools, melt 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl by heating in 10-second increments on high power, stirring between each until smooth.
  12. Drizzle Melted Chocolate: Using a spoon, pastry bag, or zip-top bag with a corner cut off, drizzle the melted chocolate evenly in long, vertical lines spaced about 1/2 inch apart over the pie. The pie does not have to be fully cooled for this step.
  13. Cool Completely: Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to let the chocolate drizzle set and the interior firm up properly before slicing and serving. Slicing too early will result in a messy texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the melted butter is not too hot before adding the egg to avoid scrambling.
  • Do not overmix the dough once flour is added to keep the texture soft and tender.
  • Watch the pie closely in the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent burning of the sweetened condensed milk, coconut, and caramel.
  • Allow ample cooling time for the pie to set properly before slicing.
  • Salted caramel sauce adds a nice contrast; substitute with regular caramel sauce if preferred, but salted is recommended for balance.
  • Chocolate drizzle can be done with a pastry bag or spoon; choose whichever is easier for you.
