This Samoas Cookie Pie is a decadent dessert inspired by the classic Samoas cookies, featuring a buttery crust, layers of melted chocolate chips, toasted coconut, drizzled sweetened condensed milk, and rich caramel sauce. Baked to perfection and topped with a glossy chocolate drizzle, this pie combines chewy, crunchy, and creamy textures for a crowd-pleasing 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 Layers

  • 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)

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pie Dish. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside for later.
  2. Melt the Butter. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter by heating it for about 1 minute on high power. Be careful not to overheat.
  3. Add Egg and Sugar Mixture. Allow the melted butter to cool slightly to avoid scrambling the egg. Then add the egg, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients. Stir in the all-purpose flour and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crust.
  5. Form the Crust and Initial Bake. Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish. Smooth out the top lightly with a spatula. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges start to firm up and the center begins setting, though it will still be somewhat soft.
  6. Layer Chocolate Chips. Remove the pie from the oven and evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the crust surface.
  7. Add Coconut Layer. Evenly sprinkle the shredded sweetened coconut over the melted chocolate chips.
  8. Drizzle Sweetened Condensed Milk. Drizzle two-thirds of a 14-ounce can (about 10 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the coconut layer by eyeballing the amount.
  9. Drizzle Caramel Sauce. Evenly drizzle 4 to 5 ounces of salted caramel sauce over the top.
  10. Final Bake. Return the pie to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes until there is slight bubbling around the edges and the center looks set and dried out. Watch carefully during the last 10 minutes, as the coconut, caramel, and condensed milk can burn easily; it’s better to underbake than overbake.
  11. Cool and Melt Chocolate for Drizzle. Allow the pie to cool in the dish on a wire rack. Meanwhile, melt the remaining 3/4 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 10-second increments, stirring until smooth.
  12. Apply Chocolate Drizzle. Using a spoon, pastry bag, or a zip-top bag with a corner cut off, drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the top in long, parallel vertical lines spaced about 1/2 inch apart. This can be done while the pie is still warm.
  13. Final Cooling. Let the pie cool completely on the wire rack for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight before slicing and serving. This resting time is critical to allow the chocolate drizzle to set and the pie interior to firm up, ensuring clean slices and perfect texture.

Notes

  • Use a loosely packed measurement for shredded coconut to ensure the correct amount.
  • Watch the final baking stage carefully to prevent burning of toppings.
  • Don’t slice the pie too early; chilling is essential for texture and clean cuts.
  • If you prefer, you may use regular caramel sauce instead of salted caramel.
  • This recipe yields one 9-inch pie, ideal for 8 servings.
