This is the recipe that my grandmother always made. I made it last week for my mother's birthday celebration. As always, it was a big hit. Thanks for posting!

This makes a very rich pie. I'm not a big fan of german chocolate and have substituted it with semi-sweet. I believe the original recipe is from Baker's Chocolate.
