Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch

How To Make german chocolate pir

Step 1

Melt chocolate with butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in evaporated milk.

Step 2

In a separate bowl combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and eggs. Add the sugar mixture to the melted chocolate.
Step 3

Stir in 1 cup of the coconut and 1/2 cup of the chopped pecans and vanilla.
Step 4

Pour into the pie shell that has been placed on a cookie sheet. The cookie sheet will help the pie cook more evenly and prevent spill overs.
Step 5

Sprinkle the top of the filling with the remaining 1/2 cup coconut and remaining 1/2 cup of pecans.
Step 6

Place in a 350 oven and bake for 50-55 minutes or until the top puffs and just starts to brown and crack a little. Allow to cool for at least 3 hours before serving.
