From TOH Holiday magazine submitted by D. Clay. A luscious pie that has a beautiful presentation. Different from the other pies listed on this site and possibly a bit more labor intensive. Prep time does not include time to bake the pastry shell. Passive time includes the time necessary to chill in the refrigerator.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I might have overcooked it.

I've been baking for years, and this is one of the best German chocolate pies I've ever made. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was rich and decadent.
