Samoas Cookie Pie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
02 - 1 large egg
03 - ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
06 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Filling & Topping

07 - ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, for sprinkling
08 - 1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut, loosely measured
09 - 280ml sweetened condensed milk (two-thirds of 14-ounce can)
10 - 120ml salted caramel sauce, homemade or store-bought
11 - ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, for drizzling

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Thoroughly coat a 23cm (9-inch) pie dish with cooking spray.
02 - In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Allow to cool slightly before adding the egg, brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
03 - Add flour and salt to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
04 - Spread batter evenly into prepared pie dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges begin to firm up and center starts to set.
05 - Remove from oven and evenly sprinkle chocolate chips over the partially baked crust.
06 - Distribute shredded coconut evenly over the chocolate chips.
07 - Drizzle sweetened condensed milk evenly across the coconut layer.
08 - Pour caramel sauce in an even layer over the previous ingredients.
09 - Return to oven and bake for about 25 minutes, until edges bubble slightly and center appears more set. Monitor closely during the final 10 minutes to prevent burning of the coconut and caramel.
10 - While pie cools on a wire rack, melt ¾ cup chocolate chips in the microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth.
11 - Using a spoon, drizzle melted chocolate in parallel vertical lines approximately 1.25cm (½-inch) apart across the entire pie.
12 - Allow pie to cool completely on wire rack for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing to ensure proper setting of the chocolate and filling.

# Notes:

01 - Regular caramel sauce can be substituted for salted caramel sauce if preferred.
02 - For a cleaner presentation, the chocolate drizzle can be applied using a pastry bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
