Granny's German Chocolate Pie

My mother passed down her German Chocolate Pie recipe to me. My family looks forward to it every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Do you have a couple of family members who devour a particular pie during the holidays?

During the holidays, my husband and my sister would try to see who could eat the last piece of my mother's Coconut Meringue pie at her house.

Well, it isn't quite that bad at my house during the holidays with my son and daughter-in-law, but it is pretty close.

Brandy likes her pie warm from the oven, and Jeff likes his pie cold from the refrigerator. Sometimes, that gives Brandy a head start. (giggles)

If you are a Classic German Chocolate Cake fan, you will be a big fan of this pie.

It is packed with all the richness and chocolate deliciousness of the cake, not to mention it is so easy to make. And it is everything you are looking for in a beautiful holiday dessert!

HOW TO MAKE GERMAN CHOCOLATE PIE

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Melt chocolate with butter over low heat; stir until blended. Remove from heat; gradually blend in milk.

Mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Gradually blend in the chocolate mixture. Pour into the pie shell.

Mix coconut and pecans; sprinkle over the filling.

Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is puffed. (Filling will be soft but will set while cooling.) Cool for at least 4 hours before serving. Makes 10-12 servings.

Put a foil ring around the edges if the crust begins to brown too much. Also, if the coconut and pecans begin to brown too much, you might need to put a sheet of foil over the entire pie.
