German Chocolate Pie
German Chocolate Pie… silky smooth chocolate, coconut pecan topping come together to make one incredible pie!
German Chocolate themed treats are one of my kind of desserts. I guess the name “german” chocolate comes from the person who came up with the initial recipe idea… and might I say they are truly brilliant!
As pie season is fast approaching, I came across this one from Taste of Home and have fallen IN LOVE! This has all my loves wrapped up into one unforgettable, jaw dropping, mouthwatering delectable dessert!
This pie is definitely a MUST MAKE! If you love coconut, chocolate and/or pecans, then you need to give this a go! You won’t be disappointed!

Just wanted to make sure of the rest of the recipe. Once the topping is cooked, you pour it over the cooled pie and then refrigerate for 4 hours? Correct? Does the topping need to cool down before pouring it over the chocolate? Thanks. I do want to make this for Thanksgiving!!
