Описание: Erin McDowell's German chocolate pie!
We have such admiration and love for Erin and her knowledge of baking. Elsie gave me Erin's "Book of Pie" for Christmas and I was elated because now we have all her recipes. We adapted the german chocolate pie to our liking and so glad we did. We did Erin's all buttah pie crust, which we par baked before hand (we prebaked the crust so it would't be mushy) There are 2 parts to making this pie and we start with the chocolate custard.
Chocolate custard-
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 large eggs- room temp
4 tbsp of melted butter
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 oz melted german choclate (bakers german chocolate blocks)
2 tsp vanilla extract
Coconut pecan topping-
4 large egg yolks
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
2 1/2 cup sweeten shredded coconut flakes
1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Make custard on stove top. In a medium bowl, whisk sugar, cocoa powder, flour and salt and set aside. Whisk in eggs, melted butter, heavy cream, melted chocolate and vanilla until smooth. Then pour into parbaked crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 mins until custard is set around edges (it may jiggle in middle)
While to custard pie is baking, make your coconut pecan topping.
This needs to ne made on the stovetop with medium heat and a medium sauce pan. Whisk in eggs, thenevaporated milk, sugar, vanilla and salt. Cook on medium low heat whisking constantly until mixture begins to thicken. Switch from whsking to using a rubber spatula to get into the corners of the pot. after 8-10 mins and is thickened. Remove from heat and stir in pecans then coconut flakes and allow to cool in a bowl to room temp. Spread topping evenly over cooled custard pie and chill for 1 hour before cutting and serving.
