FAQs

Can I use store-bought caramel sauce?

Yes! A thick, high-quality caramel sauce works best, but homemade is always a great option.

How do I keep the crust from getting too hard?

Don’t overbake! Remove the pie once the edges are golden brown, even if the center looks slightly soft—it will firm up as it cools.

Can I make this in a different pan?

Yes! A 9×9-inch baking dish works well if you don’t have a pie pan.

How do I toast the coconut?

Spread the shredded coconut on a baking sheet and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

What kind of chocolate chips work best?

Semi-sweet chocolate chips provide the perfect balance of sweetness, but dark chocolate works well for a richer flavor.

Can I use a graham cracker crust instead?

Yes! A graham cracker crust adds a slightly different texture but works well with the flavors.

What’s the best way to cut this pie?

Let the pie cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. Run a knife under warm water and wipe between cuts.

Can I add a shortbread crust instead of cookie dough?

Absolutely! A shortbread crust will make it taste even more like a traditional Samoas cookie.

Can I serve this warm or cold?

It’s delicious both ways! Warm it up for a gooey texture or serve it chilled for a firmer consistency.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! This pie can be made a day in advance and stored at room temperature or in the fridge until ready to serve.
