- 1 pre-made pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup shredded coconut divided
- 1 cup caramel sauce for drizzling on top
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the pre-made pie crust into a pie dish and set aside while you prepare the filling.
Mixing the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly before adding the egg and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry mixture until just blended. You’ll have a thick batter.
Adding Chocolate and Coconut

Assembling the Pie
- Spread the mixture into the pie crust, smoothing it out evenly.
- Top the filled pie with the remaining shredded coconut, pressing it gently into the batter.
Baking
- Place the pie in your preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the pie to cool slightly before drizzling your caramel sauce over the top.
Serving
- Once the pie has cooled, slice it up, serve it on a plate with an extra sprinkle of coconut if you wish, and enjoy the delightful harmony of flavors.
