Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the softened butter and vanilla extract, mixing until the dough forms a ball. Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 18-20 minutes until lightly golden and let cool
- Spread the shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. In a medium saucepan, combine unwrapped caramels, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and fold in 2½ cups of toasted coconut. Pour over the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours
- Create a double boiler and melt chocolate chips and coconut oil until smooth. Drizzle over the chilled pie and sprinkle with reserved toasted coconut. Refrigerate for another hour before serving
Notes
For a gluten-free version, substitute with a gluten-free flour blend.
Use quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
Let the pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
