Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
3
In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture turns light and fluffy, about 30 seconds.
4
Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until the ingredients are well-combined and smooth.
5
Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix well until fully combined, then fold in the shredded coconut.
6
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 6 tablespoons of butter on high for about 30 seconds. Stir in the sugar until well combined.
7
Mix in the graham cracker crumbs until evenly coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to form a crust.
8
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker crust.
9
Carefully spread the cookie dough mixture over the chocolate chips. Use flour on your fingers if needed to prevent sticking.
10
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the cookie dough, pressing them gently into the surface.
11
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
12
Meanwhile, prepare the cinnamon butter by creaming together the remaining softened butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy.
13
Once baked, slice the pie into 9 equal pieces. If desired, reheat each slice in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds if it has cooled.
14
Heat a small cast iron skillet over medium heat until hot. Remove from heat and add 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and sizzle.
15
Place one slice of pie into the hot skillet, allowing it to absorb the melted butter. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
16
Drizzle chocolate and caramel syrup generously over the ice cream and the pie, and add additional chopped walnuts for garnish as desired.
17
Repeat the process for each serving, presenting each piece sizzling in its own skillet for a truly delightful experience.
