German Chocolate Pie

This is Jeffrey's favorite pie. I got the recipe from his mom. He says I don't make it often enough, but I figure it's more special if he doesn't get it all the time, right?

German Chocolate Pie

Ingredients:
  • 1 pkg. (4 oz.) Baker's German sweet chocolate
  • 1/4 c. butter
  • 1-2/3 c. (14 1/2 oz. can) evaporated milk
  • 1-1/2 c. sugar
  • 3 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1-1/3 c. angel flake coconut
  • 1/2 c. chopped pecans
  • 1 unbaked pie shell, fluted high
Directions:
  1. Melt German chocolate and butter in saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in evaporated milk.
  2. In bowl, mix with electric mixer: sugar, cornstarch, salt, eggs, and vanilla. Gradually blend in chocolate mixture.
  3. Pour into unbaked pie shell and top with mixture of coconut and pecans.
  4. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes, then cover with foil to stop browning and bake another 15 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and cool at least 4 hours before cutting or refrigerating.
  6. Enjoy!

and I'm not giving away Mom's secret recipe, because I found (almost) the same recipe online at Cooks.com. You'll want to cut this pie into fairly small pieces because it is so rich.
