Thanksgiving dinner at our house includes an average of 25 guests and a dozen different pies. This one has all the luscious flavor of German chocolate cake. A friend who tried it told me he wanted it to be his birthday pie from now on.

SERVINGS: 8

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Chill

TIME: Prep: 45 min. + chilling

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (4 ounces) German sweet chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1-1/2 cups milk
  • 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 1 pastry shell (9 inches), baked
  • TOPPING:
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1-1/3 cups flaked coconut, toasted
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Directions:

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla; set aside.
    In a small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in chocolate mixture. Spoon into pastry shell.
    In a small saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, sugar and butter. Cook and stir until butter is melted and mixture just comes to a boil. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot liquid into egg; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.
    Remove from the heat. Stir in coconut and pecans. Pour over filling. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8 servings.
