Time 4h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup pecans
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet, and if using, unsweetened coconut on another. Bake until pecans are fragrant and coconut is golden, 8 to 10 minutes for pecans and 5 to 7 minutes for coconut. Let cool. Coarsely chop pecans.

Tips for Making the Best German Chocolate Pie

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better your pie will taste. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • 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.
