German Sweet Chocolate Pie

Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, I thought I would share this pie recipe. I love a good chocolate pie. (All right, I love chocolate everything.)

German Sweet Chocolate Pie

4 oz. bar German Sweet Chocolate
1/4 c. butter
1 2/3 c. evaporated milk (14 oz.)
1 1/2 c. sugar
3 Tb. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 unbaked deep dish pie crust or 2 8" pie crusts
1 1/3 c. coconut
1/2 c. chopped pecans

Melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring until blended. Remove from heat and gradually blend in milk. In a separate bowl, mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt thoroughly. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Gradually blend in chocolate mixture. Pour into pie shell. Combine coconut and pecans and sprinkle over filling. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Filling will be soft, but will set during cooking. Cool at least 4 hours before cutting.
