Pioneer Woman German Chocolate Pie

Another delicious recipe from Pioneer Woman is this German Chocolate Pie, made with semisweet chocolate chips, salted butter, large eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and chopped pecans.

To make this German Chocolate Pie, Ree Drummond starts by preheating the oven and preparing the pie crust. She then melts the chocolate and butter, mixes in the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, salt, and vanilla, and finally adds the chopped pecans and shredded coconut before baking.

Same as her Fruit Crisp and Peanut Butter Fudge, Pioneer Woman’s German Chocolate Pie is a perfect blend of rich flavors and textures that make it a must-try dessert.

Pioneer Woman German Chocolate Pie Ingredients

• 1 Perfect Pie Crust round, slightly thawed
• All-purpose flour, for dusting
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 3 tbsp salted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup chopped pecans, plus extra for topping
• 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for topping
• Whipped cream and shaved chocolate, for topping

How To Make Pioneer Woman German Chocolate Pie

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350˚F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Roll out the pie dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Place the dough in a 9-inch pie pan and press it against the sides. Fold the extra dough under and crimp the edges.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and butter. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted chocolate and eggs together. Add sweetened condensed milk, salt, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
4. Add Nuts and Coconut: Stir in the chopped pecans and shredded coconut into the wet mixture.
5. Bake and Cool: Pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Place the pie on the baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The top should be set but the center will be slightly jiggly. Let it cool completely for about 2 hours. Finish with whipped cream, extra pecans, coconut, and shaved chocolate for topping.

Additional Tips:

• The pie needs to be refrigerated after it has cooled down.
• The filling won’t set completely in the oven, so it’s important to let it cool and then refrigerate.

What To Serve With German Chocolate Pie
