🛒 Ingredients
For the Cookie Base:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Caramel Coconut Topping:
- 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 ½ cups soft caramels (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Layer:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter
🔪 Preparation Steps
Step 1: Prepare the Coconut Topping
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven for about 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
Keep a close eye on it—coconut can burn quickly.
Once toasted, set aside to cool.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Baking soda
- Salt
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Step 3: Form the Pie Base
Grease a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan.
Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan to create a crust.
Use your hands or the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
Step 4: Bake the Base
Bake the cookie base for 20–25 minutes, or until lightly golden and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Step 5: Prepare the Caramel Coconut Mixture
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the caramels with the heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth.
Add the salt and mix well.
Remove from heat and fold in the toasted coconut until evenly coated.
Step 6: Assemble the Pie
Spread the caramel coconut mixture evenly over the baked cookie base.
Use a spatula to press it down gently so it sticks to the surface.
Step 7: Add the Chocolate Drizzle
Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the pie in a zigzag pattern.
For a more decorative look, you can use a piping bag or spoon.
Step 8: Chill and Set
Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
This helps the caramel firm up and makes slicing easier.
