German Chocolate Pie

A rich and creamy German chocolate pie featuring a chocolate filling combined with pecans and coconut in a flaky pie crust, topped with a chocolate-coconut-pecan layer.

  • Total Time: 50-55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 uncooked pie crust, store bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 3/4 cup flaked sweetened coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place uncooked pie crust in pie tin.
  2. In a small bowl, microwave butter until completely melted. Add 1 cup chocolate chips and stir until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
  4. Slowly add chocolate/butter mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until blended.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Fold in the pecans, coconut, and remaining chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the unbaked pie crust and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is set and forms a crust similar to brownies. Avoid overbaking.
  8. Cool before serving to allow filling to set.

Notes

Use unsalted butter for best flavor control. Do not overbake to keep the filling gooey. Pecans and coconut can be toasted lightly beforehand for extra flavor.
