Ingredients

• 1/3 Cup white sugar
• 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 1/2 Cups milk
• 1 4 Ounces bar German sweet chocolate, divided
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 2 Large egg yolks, whisked
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 9 Inch pie crust, baked
• 1 Large egg, whisked
• 1 5 Ounces can evaporated milk
• 1/2 Cup white sugar
• 1/4 Cup butter
• 1 1/3 Cups flaked coconut
• 1/2 Cup pecans, divided

Preparation Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/3 cup sugar and cornstarch over medium-high heat. Stir in milk, divided chocolate, and 1 tablespoon butter. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly. Reduce heat and continue to cook and stir for about 2 more minutes.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk 2 egg yolks. Gradually stir in about 1 cup of the warm chocolate mixture until smooth to prevent curdling. Pour this mixture back into the saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Pour the hot chocolate filling into the baked pie shell.
4. In another saucepan, combine 1 whisked egg, evaporated milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly. Stir in flaked coconut and divided pecans.
5. Spread the pecan mixture evenly over the chocolate filling. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack, then chill thoroughly before serving.
