Unbaked pie crust – Store bought or homemade pie crust works for this recipe. Make it easier or homemade, either way will be delicious. Butter – Melt your butter in the microwave before adding to the chocolate chips. I like to use unsalted butter. Chocolate chips – I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but milk or dark chocolate will work well too. The butter and chocolate chips will blend together and melt in unison in a small bowl. This works great to prevent lumps. Flour – I used all-purpose flour for the pie. This holds the ingredients together and helps bind the wet ingredients. Brown sugar and sugar – The sugars bring in the sweetness for the german pie and adds a bit of sugary texture. Mix sugar together with the flour to make a base for the chocolate mixture. Eggs – Whisk together the eggs with either a fork or small whisk. Vanilla extract – Adds an extra touch of flavor! Pecans and coconut – It is traditional to have pecans and coconut over top and occasionally in the german chocolate. Together, they make the best combination! If you need to change the pecans to another type of nuts, that will work too. Optional: top with some whipped topping, toasted coconut, and chocolate shavings or dust with a little cocoa powder.
Make the filling: Melt the butter and add chocolate chips. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth. Combine the flours and sugars in a separate bowl. Slowly add the melted chocolate into the dry ingredients. Add the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla. Gently fold in the remaining chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the pie is set. You don’t want to over bake the pie. After 35 minutes, check if it’s done by placing a toothpick into the center of the pie. If the toothpick comes out clean, remove the pie from the oven and cool. If the toothpick comes out with some batter on it, continue to bake and check it again in 5 minutes. Repeat, if necessary. Serving the pie: After the pie is cooled, it’s ready to eat. The pie will have a similar texture to a brownie. Toppings aren’t necessary, but it can be topped with toasted coconut and/or chopped pecans. It is also good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
