- 1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie shell (see notes for recipe link)
- 4 oz. package German Sweet Chocolate
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 12-oz Can or 1 ⅔ cup evaporated milk
- 1 ½ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ⅓ cup sweetened coconut
- ¾ cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 375°F. Break chocolate into pieces and place in a small mixing bowl. Add the butter and microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir to blend and repeat until chocolate is almost melted. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes or until chocolate is completely melted. Do not over cook. Once melted, gradually blend in evaporated milk. Set aside.
Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk in eggs, add vanilla, then gradually blend in chocolate mixture.
Pour filling into an unbaked pie shell. In a small bowl combine the coconut and chopped pecans. Sprinkle over filling and press down slightly to set. Bake at 375°F for 45-50 minutes or until filling is puffed and lightly browned. The filling will be soft but sets while cooling.
Cool at least 4 hours before cutting. Top with sweetened cream, chocolate curls and additional coconut if desired.
