Ingredients

  • 1 frozen deep dish pie crust
  • 6 ounces german chocolate
  • 2 eggs
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons coffee prepared
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 2-1/2 cups pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400
  • Coarsely chop German chocolate and add in an even layer to the bottom of pie crust.  Set aside.
    TIP:  You'll want to insure the pieces are bite size as they stay in chunks rather than melt when baked and cooled.
  • In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs and set aside.
  • In small saucepan, melt butter. 
  • Add salt, brown sugar, corn syrup, flour and coffee and whisk together to combine.
    TIP:  Don't like coffee?  No problem!  You actually won't taste coffee in the final dessert, rather it brings out a deeper flavor to the chocolate.
  • Whisk butter mixture into eggs until just combined. 
  • Stir pecans and coconut flakes into egg and butter mixture.
  • Pour mixture into pie crust over chocolate.
  • Bake 25 minutes or until filling is set. 
  • Let pie cool completely before slicing.
