If you love german chocolate cake, then you’ll love this recipe: homemade german chocolate pie. It’s so rich and creamy.

This pie is like chocolate pudding and german chocolate cake happy together. The crust and filling pair so well together! We are big chocolate lovers at our house, and by we I mostly mean my daughter and I. For some reason the boys in our house are vanilla lovers all the way, but we don’t mind, because it only means more chocolate for us, and this German Chocolate Pie is the best chocolate fix!

What you need to make German Chocolate Pie:

How to make German Chocolate Pie:

Heat coconut, pecans, butter, and sugar: Heat the coconut, pecans, butter and brown sugar until sugar dissolves.

German Chocolate cake vs. German Chocolate Pie:

German Chocolate Cake and Pie have all of the same flavors, they’re just put together differently! With cake, the coconut and pecans are usually found in the frosting and paired with a basic chocolate cake. In the pie, we add the coconut and pecan mixture on the bottom, and top with chocolate pie filling.

Pie for breakfast:

Pair it with a big glass of ice cold milk and you have the breakfast of champions! I kid…well sort of. We all know that if there’s pie for dessert, chances are (if there is any left), there will be pie for breakfast too.

Pie crust for German Chocolate Pie:

We like to use our tried and true Pie Crust recipe for this pie. It is buttery, flakey, and the perfect pair for the delicious chocolate filling!

Coconut and pecans in German Chocolate Pie:

In our version of German Chocolate Pie, we add coconut and chopped pecans to the bottom of the pie. It adds so much flavor and texture without being too overpowering. You’re going to love it!
