Reviews
This a wonderful pie. It will be a family favorite
This is wonderful! You'll definitely need a deep dish pie shell. All my friends loved it; however, it was a bit sweet for me. I'll probably cut back on the sugar some the next time. Definitely a keeper!
My Mom gave me this recipe years ago. It is absolutely not a healthy treat but I only fix it for Thanksgiving and Christmas so I don't worry about it.I add extra coconut and nuts and make two pies at one time. SO GOOD!"
Llangley6 we use large eggs in the Test Kitchen. Note that it calls for a deep-dish pastry shell.
Wanting to try this. Has anyone else had a problem using large eggs?
This is so good! I love this pie. It's got my favorite flavors of German chocolate cake in pie form (and I think it's much easier to make)!
Family favorite, been baking this pie for years
I've been looking for a recipe like this for a long time, finally found THE ONE! So very yummy, and actually very easy to make. Do use a deep dish pie plate and you won't have any messes!
Our son-in-law loves pie, so I try to make one for him often. This recipe has been in my file for years but never made it until yesterday. He an our daughter said it was really,really good and she asked for the recipe.
Loved this. I'm a big coconut & chocolate fan so this hit the spot. Can't wait to introduce the rest of my family to it. Definitely a keeper!
