German Chocolate Pie
Wow! That was close. I almost missed the photo-op for this recipe. My family devoured this pie. I guess they liked it! Full of chocolate-y goodness, I’m sure you will love it too.
German Chocolate Pie
6 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 c butter, unsalted
3 1/2 T cornstarch
12 oz. evaporated milk
3 large eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
1 T unsweetened cocoa powder
1 t vanilla paste
1/3 c flaked coconut
1/3 c chopped pecans
pinch of salt
Preheat the oven to 375 degree F. Prepare pastry and place in a pie dish. (I used a deep dish)
In a med. sauce pan, heat the butter and chocolate chips stirring constantly until everything is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and slowly pour in the evaporated milk, stirring until combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cocoa powder. Mix well. Add the eggs and stir until everything is combined. Using a wire whisk, add the chocolate mixture (three additions of 1/3 each) stirring until well incorporated between each addition. Add the vanilla and stir well. Pour into the pie shell and top with the coconut and pecans. Bake for 50 -60 minutes or until the center is set. Allow to cool completely (the pie will firm up as it cools). Serve with sweetened whipped cream and chocolate shavings or chopped pecans.
