Taste Of Home German Chocolate Pie Recipe
Ingredients
For the pie crust, you’ll need a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, shortening, and cold water. For the filling, you’ll need butter, sugar, eggs, all-purpose flour, evaporated milk, chopped pecans, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Finally, for the topping, you’ll need evaporated milk, egg yolks, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and flaked coconut.
Instructions
To make the crust, start by combining the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and mix with a fork until the dough forms a ball. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to fit the 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Place the crust in the pie plate and flute the edges. Set aside.
To make the filling, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar and eggs, stirring until blended. Add the flour and evaporated milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans, chocolate chips, and vanilla. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
To make the topping, combine the evaporated milk and egg yolks in a medium saucepan. Add the sugar, butter, and vanilla and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut. Spread the topping over the filling and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before slicing and serving.

Tips
For best results, use a deep-dish pie plate so that the filling doesn’t overflow. If you don’t have a deep-dish pie plate, you can use a 9-inch standard pie plate, but you might need to reduce the filling slightly so it doesn’t overflow.
If you don’t have the time or patience to make homemade pie crust, you can use a store-bought crust. Just be sure to read the label carefully to make sure it’s a deep-dish crust.
For an extra special touch, you can decorate the top of the pie with chocolate curls or shavings, or you can sprinkle it with toasted pecans or coconut.
This pie is best served at room temperature, but it can be served chilled if desired. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This recipe makes one 9-inch deep-dish pie. If you’d like to make a smaller version, you can use a 9-inch standard pie plate and reduce the filling accordingly.
If you’d like to make a bigger version, you can double the recipe and use a 12-inch deep-dish pie plate. Just be sure to increase the baking time accordingly.
