Best Samoas Cookie Pie - featured image

A nostalgic and easy-to-make pie capturing the chewy, caramel-coconut-chocolate flavors of Samoas cookies with a gooey caramel center, toasted coconut topping, and chocolate drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190g), spooned and leveled
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (113g), softened
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (67g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (240ml), store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tbsp sea salt flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (about 30g), toasted until golden
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (90g), melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually add dry mix to wet ingredients and stir until combined. Dough will be soft but not sticky.
  3. Press dough evenly into bottom and up sides of 9-inch pie dish. Prick bottom lightly with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  4. Bake crust for 15-18 minutes until edges start to turn golden. Remove and let cool slightly.
  5. Spread shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet and toast in oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-8 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Remove when golden and fragrant.
  6. Pour caramel sauce evenly over warm crust. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top.
  7. Sprinkle toasted coconut evenly over caramel layer, pressing gently to stick.
  8. Return pie to oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes until caramel bubbles slightly and crust edges deepen in color.
  9. Let pie cool for at least 30 minutes. Melt chocolate chips in 20-second bursts in microwave or use double boiler. Drizzle melted chocolate over top in zig-zag pattern. Allow chocolate to set before slicing.

Notes

If caramel is too thick, warm slightly before pouring; if too runny, chill to set better. Use a sharp warm knife (run under hot water and dry) for cleaner slices. Toast coconut carefully to avoid burning. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour; for dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free caramel and chocolate. Cooling time is important for setting caramel and chocolate.
