Erin Mcdowell's German chocolate pie!
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.

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:43 In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and salt.
01:10 Add egg yolks, milk, and heavy cream and transfer to stovetop over medium heat and whisk ingredients together.
04:01 Whisk ingredients frequently until ingredients begin to thicken (this will take several minutes, do not crank up the heat or your filling may not thicken properly).
04:56 Once mixture has thickened² (it should be like a pudding consistency) whisk constantly, the mixture will come to a boil and continue to whisk for 60 seconds before removing from heat (still whisking constantly).
05:12 Immediately add chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract.
05:19 Whisk until ingredients are smooth and chocolate and butter are completely melted.
05:28 Pour your pie filling through a fine mesh sieve into a medium-sized heatproof bowl. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent skin from forming.
06:22 Pour filling over prepared pie crust and cover surface with clear wrap, making sure that the clear wrap is pressed against the surface of the chocolate to prevent a skin from forming.
07:03 Refrigerate at least 6 hours to allow chocolate pie to firm up and set.
Homemade Whipped Cream
Prepare Whipped Cream shortly before serving pie.
Combine ¾ cup heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a clean medium-sized bowl.
Use an electric mixer to stir on low-speed. Gradually increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form.
07:23 Pipe (I used a Wilton 2D tip) or dollop whipped cream topping over pie just before serving.
Notes
¹a 60 or 70% cacao bar works great, I often use Ghirardelli which is available right next to the cocoa powder in the baking section.
²It is important that your mixture thickens and comes to a boil, otherwise it will not set properly.

German Chocolate Pie- with yoyomax12
This German chocolate pie has all the flavours of the cake with the same name! Lots of stirring on the stove, but so worth it.
My second channel for unboxings, product reviews and travel vlogs:
I used this recipe:
The only difference was that I used semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of German sweet chocolate called for in the recipe.

How to Make German Chocolate Pie | Best German Chocolate Pie Recipe
When German chocolate cake is good, it's so good. The rich chocolate, the chopped pecans, the shredded coconut—I don't know if there's any better combo on this earth. But do you want to know what's a lot easier than making German chocolate cake? German chocolate pie. The layered cake requires baking the actual cake and making the filling, plus the frosting. The hardest part of this pie recipe is letting it cool before you slice it. I always make a chocolate pie for a Thanksgiving dessert, and this is a different one to switch it up!
What is German chocolate pie made of?
German chocolate pie is made with many of the same staples as the cake: chocolate, eggs, pecans, and shredded coconut. Instead of making a separate chocolate cake and coconut frosting, the pie combines everything in the filling! There's some sweetened condensed milk and vanilla that help tie it all together.
How do you know when German chocolate pie is done?
The filling won't set completely in the oven, which is why you have to refrigerate it. Pull it out of the oven when the top has puffed up a tiny bit, but the center seems slightly jiggle.
Does a cooked chocolate pie need to be refrigerated?
Yep! Since it's a custard filled pie, it has to be refrigerated. Wrap it loosely in plastic wrap and refrigerate after it has cooled completely.
YIELDS:
8 - 10 serving(s)
PREP TIME:
40 mins
TOTAL TIME:
1 hr 15 mins
Ingredients
1 Perfect Pie Crust round, thawed slightly
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 c. semisweet chocolate chips
3 tbsp. salted butter
3 large eggs
1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 c. chopped pecans, plus more for topping
3/4 c. unsweetened shredded coconut, plus more for topping
Whipped cream and shaved chocolate, for topping
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. On a floured surface, roll out the pie dough into a 12-inch circle, starting at the center and working your way out. (Sprinkle flour over the top of the dough if it’s a bit too moist.) Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan. Gently press the dough against the sides of the pan. Tuck the overhanging dough underneath itself, then crimp the edges with your fingers.
2
Place the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. Scrape the melted chocolate into a large bowl. Add the eggs and whisk until combined. Add the condensed milk, salt, and vanilla and whisk until combined. Stir in the pecans and coconut.
3
Pour the chocolate mixture into the crust. Put the pie on the baking sheet and bake until the filling puffs a little and the top is set but the center is still slightly jiggly, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, about 2 hours. Top with whipped cream, chopped pecans, coconut, and shaved chocolate.
