German Chocolate Pie

Well, I’m pretty close here.  This recipe and my memory match up!  However, I think I need more practice.  Memaw’s pie was thicker in texture; thicker like a pudding.  The deep chocolate flavor, the ratio of pecans and coconut are spot on!

However, I don’t make pies enough to know how to tweek this right away.  Do I need more egg yolks or less evaporated milk to get a thicker pudding texture? Do you know?

The German Chocolate Pie recipe  I posted earlier is VERY GOOD!  I had to correct the baking time from 30 minutes to 1 hour.   Thankfully, I made a foil ring to keep the crust from burning.foil ring for pie crust

I sure could use your feedback if you know where I’m heading with this recipe.

RECIPE UPDATE!!! November 11, 2007

I need to add to this post that this pie gets better with time.  We finally finished it off last night.  This is the recipe!  This is what I remember!

It became thicker and deeper with flavor on the second and third day.  Which totally explains why I never saw her make this pie growing up.  She made it before I was out for the school holiday and then she must have hid it from the rest of us until the big day.

So this is what I’ve learned;  MAKE THIS PIE TWO DAYS AHEAD OF SERVING for MAXIMUM FLAVOR & TEXTURE.
