𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

1 pre-made or homemade pie crust
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup caramel sauce

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and use a fork to poke holes in the bottom to prevent bubbling.

2. Blind bake the crust: Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown . Remove the parchment and weights, then bake for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

3. Prepare the chocolate filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips , heavy cream , and butter . Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.

4. Whisk the eggs and sugar: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs , granulated sugar , and vanilla extract . Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until smooth and combined .

5. Bake the pie: Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-baked pie crust . Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center . Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack.

6. Add the caramel, coconut, and pecans: Once the pie has cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top. Sprinkle with shredded coconut and chopped pecans for that signature German chocolate flavor!

7. Serve and enjoy: Slice the German Chocolate Pie and serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired! This rich, decadent dessert is perfect for any occasion .
