Description
A rich and velvety chocolate pie topped with a delightful coconut-pecan mixture, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 oz German chocolate
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the store-bought crust in a pie dish or roll out your homemade dough to fit the dish, pricking the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Bake the crust: Blind bake for about 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Allow it to cool.
- Make the chocolate filling: Melt German chocolate with milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
- Mix the sugar and eggs: Whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs in a separate bowl until smooth. Gradually pour in the melted chocolate mixture, stirring well. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Bake the filling: Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and bake for 25-30 minutes until set in the center.
- Make the topping: Combine pecans, coconut, and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the cooled pie.
- Final bake: Return the pie to the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes until the topping is golden.
- Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing, for best flavor.
Notes
Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, and enjoy with family and friends for an added touch of happiness.
