German Chocolate Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 Pie Shell, unbaked
  • 1 (4-oz.) pkg. Sweet Chocolate
  • 1/4 c. Margarine or Butter
  • 1 (14-oz.) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1/2 c. Flour, unsifted
  • 1 tsp. M-K Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp. M-K Cocoanut Flavor
  • 1/8 tsp. Salt
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/3 c. Flaked Cocoanut
  • 1 c. Pecans, chopped

Directions

  1. Chocolate Mixture: Preheat your oven to 350°. In a heavy saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate and margarine, ensuring a smooth mixture.
  2. Preparation: Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat. Slowly mix in the sweetened condensed milk, followed by the flour, M-K Extracts, salt, and beaten eggs. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Adding the Crunch: Reserve 1/4 cup of the flaked coconut for later use. Gently fold in the remaining coconut and the chopped pecans into the chocolate mixture.
  4. Baking: Pour your chocolate and nut blend into the unbaked pie shell. For added texture and appearance, garnish the top with the reserved coconut.
  5. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top becomes firm and the coconut garnish turns a light, golden brown.
  6. Cooling: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven. Allow it to cool thoroughly before attempting to cut. This will ensure a firm and sliceable pie.
  7. Serving: Once cooled, slice the pie into desired portions. If you’re in the mood for some added creaminess, garnish each slice with a dollop of whipped cream.

Tip: For a twist, you can also sprinkle some cocoa powder or shaved chocolate over the whipped cream before serving.
