Dessert Recipes - Southern Sweet Chocolate Pie Recipe

Ingredients                

  • one 4-oz package Baker's German Sweet Chocolate

  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine

  • one 13-oz can evaporated milk

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell, with high-fluted rim

  • 1 1/3 cups (about) Baker's Angel Flake Coconut

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Method:

  1. Heat Chocolate with butter in saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth.

  2. Remove from heat; gradually blend in evaporated milk and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla.

  3. Gradually blend in chocolate mixture. Pour into pie shell; sprinkle with coconut and nuts. (Shell will be quite full, but filling will not rise over sides.)

  4. Bake at 375°F for 45 to 50 minutes, or until top is puffed and browned. (Filling will be soft, but will set while cooling.) Cool at least 4 hours.

Note: If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. Pie may be wrapped and stored in freezer; thaw before serving.
