Description
This German Chocolate Pie is the ultimate dessert indulgence. Rich chocolate ganache, sweet coconut, and crunchy pecans come together in a flaky pie crust for a dessert that’s equal parts elegant and nostalgic. Perfect for holidays, gatherings, or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
1 9-inch pie crust
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 12 oz can evaporated milk, divided
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Pre-bake for 5–7 minutes and set aside.
2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips with 1/3 cup of the evaporated milk, stirring until smooth. Pour into the bottom of the pie crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans into the mixture.
5. Pour the mixture over the chocolate layer in the pie crust.
6. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is just slightly jiggly.
7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
Letting the pie cool completely is essential to achieve the perfect set without a runny middle.
Toast the coconut and pecans before adding them for an extra boost of flavor and texture.
Use a pie shield or foil to prevent the crust edges from over-browning during baking.
