When I was in college, many moons ago, a bunch of us would walk over to nearby Cameron Village (shopping area)to the K&W Cafeteria for Sunday dinner. This pie was my very favorite dessert... and I was thrilled to find this recipe on the label of Baker's sweet chocolate. *Mumble mumble* years later, it's still a favorite. Ingredients:
1 (4 ounce) package sweet chocolate |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
1 2/3 cups evaporated milk |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/3 cups coconut |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie crust |
Directions:
1. Melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring until blended; remove from heat and gradually blend in milk.
2. Mix sugar, cornstarch, & salt in lg bowl.
3. Add eggs & vanilla; beat well.
4. Gradually blend in chocolate mixture.
5. Pour into pie shell.
6. Combine pecans & coconut, sprinkle over filling.
7. Bake at 375 for 45 to 50 minutes or until puffed and browned.
8. Filling will be soft but will set while cooling.
9. Cool AT LEAST four hours before cutting.
10. NOTE: If top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil the last 15 minutes of baking.
