German Chocolate Pie

A decadent chocolate pie with a rich coconut-pecan topping, inspired by the classic German chocolate cake.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 4 oz German sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate and butter with evaporated milk, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the chocolate mixture until well combined.
  4. Whisk in eggs and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in coconut and pecans.
  5. Pour filling into the unbaked pie crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until set and crust is golden. Cool completely before serving.
