German Chocolate Pie

German Chocolate Pie Recipe

Ingredients
4 ounces German chocolate
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 unbaked 10-inch pie crust
1 1/3 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans



Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In microwave, melt chocolate and butter on a low setting in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl. Stir several times during melting process to prevent burning.
3. When chocolate is melted, stir in sugar, salt, vanilla, cornstarch and eggs until well blended. Stir in evaporated milk until smooth. Pour into pie shell.
4. Mix coconut and pecans together; sprinkle evenly over chocolate mixture. Use a knife to cut through coconut into chocolate mixture in several places. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until center is set.
Tips from the Test Kitchen
Tips From Our Test Kitchen: The pie center puffs slightly and the top begins to crack when it is done. If the crust becomes too brown, place a piece of foil over the top of the entire pie for the final 15 minutes of baking. A dollup of whipped cream can be added if desired.
