Description

This German Chocolate Pie with Coconut Pecan Ribbon is a cozy and achievable dessert featuring a rich chocolate filling and an irresistible coconut pecan topping in a simple pie format. It’s perfect for busy weeknights or special gatherings, delivering deep flavor and a homemade touch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped bar
  • 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 can (12 oz / 354ml) evaporated milk
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups (150g) sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup (100g) chopped pecans
  • 0.5 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed

Instructions

  1. Prep The Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your 9-inch pie crust in a pie plate. Optionally, pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden, then let it cool completely.
  2. Make Chocolate Filling: In a medium saucepan, gently melt semi-sweet chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat. Whisk in granulated sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully combined and uniform. Pour this smooth chocolate mixture into your prepared pie crust.
  3. Create Coconut Pecan Ribbon: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened cream cheese with brown sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the sweetened shredded coconut and chopped pecans by hand until just combined.
  4. Layer The Ribbon: Carefully spoon dollops of the coconut pecan mixture over the chocolate filling in the pie crust.
  5. Bake To Perfection: Bake for 45-55 minutes in your preheated oven, or until the chocolate filling is set around the edges but still shows a slight jiggle in the center when gently shaken. The coconut pecan ribbon will turn a golden brown. If the ribbon starts to brown too quickly, tent the pie loosely with foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
  6. Chill & Serve: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack until it’s barely warm to the touch, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or ideally overnight) to allow it to set fully.

Notes

For extra flavor, lightly toast the pecans before chopping. Use a high-quality chocolate for a truly decadent taste. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before serving balances the sweetness. Don’t overbake; a slight wobble in the center is perfect. Chill thoroughly to ensure the pie sets completely for clean slices.
