German Chocolate Pie Recipe
Here's what you'll need...1 deep dish prepared pie crust, raw 1 4oz. bar of German sweet chocolate 1/4 cup of butter 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar 12oz. of evaporated milk (not condensed) 3 slightly beaten eggs 1/2 cup of pecans 3/4 cup of coconut
Break the chocolate bar into pieces and place in a medium sized microwave bowl. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds. Add butter and cover so butter doesn't splatter. Heat for about 30 seconds. Stir. If not completely melted, microwave for about 20 more seconds. Stir. Add vanilla, sugar, and canned milk to the chocolate mixture. Stir well, scrapping the sides and bottom of the bowl frequently. You don't want to waste any of that precious chocolate! In a separate bowl beat the eggs slightly. Then add the eggs to the chocolate. Mix thoroughly. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet. Pour in the pecans. Then pour the chocolate mixture on top. Sprinkle the coconut on top of the pie filling. Bake for about 45 minutes or until done. You'll notice that the filling has lost almost all it's wiggle when done. To test, carefully insert a table knife into the center of the pie. If it comes out nearly clean, it's done. Refrigerate. Give it at least 5 hours to cool completely before eating. Tastes best that way!
Recipe for German Chocolate PieMy mother taste tested it for me. She loved the velvety smooth filling. But she thought having both pecans and coconut was too much. She thought it would be better with either or.So if you wish, you can adjust the amount of pecans and coconut up or down. But be careful! Adding too much more could spell disaster. Live and learn. I tried using 3/4 of a cup of pecans and a cup of coconut. Big mistake! Made too much filling and it ran over. Fortunately the baking sheet contained the mess.
