I am in love with this pie. Man, I just thought it was superb. I mean, I love German Chocolate Cake. Who doesn't? German chocolate cake is one of my favorite desserts, and a stapel in Amish cookbooks. But putting that same deliciousness into a pie crust is absolute genius. This is now one of my favorite pie recipes! So if you want this german chocolate pie recipe, you've come to the right place!
This pie was made for the Chrisholm Amish homestead bake-off a few years ago and it is a great Amish recipe. Carmon Hacker made it and, well, again, just amazing.
One thing I wish I would have had when I ate this pie was a dollop of whipped cream, man, that would have just topped it off perfectly. Or perhaps a glass of milk. I rarely drink milk as an adult, but occasionally it tastes amazing if paired with the right food.
Carmon doesn't go wrong with recipes, so I'd not recommend straying from what is here. I mean, I suppose you could swap out pecans for walnuts. Or you could probably use chocolate chips in a pinch if you didn't have the baking chocolate, or some sort of semi-sweet chocolate. You could also probably use brown sugar to nice effect here instead of white sugar, or perhaps a blend. The flavor of this pie is outstanding. Even if you are not a coconut pecan lover, this pie has enough other flavors and textures to please even the most picky palate!
