Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs - Crust base
  • ½ cup Melted butter - Slightly cooled
  • ¼ cup Light brown sugar - Adds caramel note
  • ⅛ teaspoon Salt - Balances sweetness
  • 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk - Divided
  • ¾ cup Seedless raspberry jam - Warm slightly to spread easier
  • 1½ cups Sweetened shredded coconut - Toast if desired
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips - Can sub milk or dark
  • ½ cup Chopped pecans - Optional
  • ½ cup White chocolate chips - Optional but pretty

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 baking pan (Metal or glass)
  • 1 Parchment paper (Leave overhang for easy removal)
  • 1 Mixing bowl (For combining crust ingredients)
  • 1 Measuring cups & spoons (Standard set)
  • 1 Wooden spoon or spatula (For mixing and spreading)
  • 1 Microwave-safe bowl (For melting butter or warming jam)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides. Melt butter and let it cool slightly.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt. Press into prepared pan and bake for 8 minutes until fragrant and lightly toasted. Cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Drizzle half the condensed milk over crust. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry jam and spread gently. Sprinkle coconut, chocolate chips, and pecans. Drizzle remaining condensed milk evenly.
  4. Bake for 25–28 minutes until edges are golden brown and center is slightly soft. Cool completely on the counter for about 1 hour.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices.
