Tips for Making the Best German Chocolate Pie

- Don't overbake the pie. The center of the pie should be slightly soft and gooey.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will help to balance out the sweetness of the pie.
