Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 9-inch crust Prepared chocolate cookie-crumb pie crust
Chocolate Filling
  • 4 ounces Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate, chopped or broken into pieces
  • 1/3 cup Milk
  • 1 8-ounce package Cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Fold-Ins
  • 1 8-ounce container Frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/2 cup Sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/2 cup Chopped pecans

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Place the chopped German’s Sweet Chocolate and milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for about 1 minute, stir carefully, and continue in short intervals if needed until the chocolate is smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  2. Beat the completely softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Add the slightly cooled melted chocolate mixture to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until thoroughly combined and evenly chocolate-colored.
  4. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping, sweetened flaked coconut, and chopped pecans. Use a spatula and mix just until the ingredients are distributed.
  5. Spoon the filling into the prepared chocolate cookie-crumb crust and smooth the top. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  6. Garnish with additional coconut, chopped pecans, chocolate shavings, or whipped cream if desired. Slice with a knife warmed under hot water and dried between cuts.

Notes

Soften the cream cheese completely to prevent lumps. Allow the melted chocolate to cool for a few minutes before combining it with the cream cheese mixture so it does not soften the whipped topping. Keep the covered pie refrigerated.
