Ingredients

• 4 ounces German sweet chocolate
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1.5 cups Evaporated milk
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch

• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Pecans, chopped
• 0.5 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 9-inch crust Graham cracker pie crust

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the German sweet chocolate and butter together, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, and cornstarch.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the evaporated milk to form a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Beat the egg yolks lightly in a small bowl, then mix them into the milk and sugar mixture.

Step 5

Pour the milk mixture into the saucepan with the melted chocolate and return to medium-low heat.

Step 6

Cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble (about 8-10 minutes). Do not let it boil vigorously.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, pecans, and coconut.

Step 8

Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared graham cracker pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firmly set.

Step 10

In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Whip with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 11

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the cooled pie, creating decorative peaks if desired.

Step 12

Garnish with additional pecans, shredded coconut, or chocolate shavings, if desired.

Step 13

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your German Sweet Chocolate Cream Pie!
