Preheat the oven to 350º. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs and salt to incorporate.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix until a dough comes together. Transfer to a parchment-lined 9-inch square pan and, using an offset spatula, spread in an even layer.

Bake until lightly golden, 15 minutes, then remove from the oven. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crust and spread evenly with an offset spatula.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut, pecans and chocolate chips, then scatter the mixture over the condensed milk and lightly press into the milk. Garnish with flaky sea salt.

Step 6

Bake until the coconut is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting and serving.
