What an easy, delicious pie to make! As a working "Mom", my time is limited, so I volunteered to be on the Hospitality Committee for the PTA. Man, have I been baking my buns off! This time, I had only 1 day notice that a dessert was needed. I looked through my cookbooks and found this little gem that I hadn't tried yet. I admit, I did cheat and use pre-made pie crusts. The filling came together in less than 10 minutes. It was so easy, that I made two pies, one to bring to my boss, who loves the German Chocolate combination. I didn't get any feedback from the PTA, but my boss gave it 5 stars. I ate one small bite and also say "High five" Thank you, zip, for an easy, but impressive, recipe. Sue

Wow! Now this is chocolate! Went together easily but baking was a bit thought provoking ;-) After 50 minutes, the topping was browned but the center was wobbly. Not knowing if it would set up on cooling, I covered the top with foil & let it rip for another 10 minutes. That firmed it up fine. The filling texture reminds me of a good southern pecan pie. I used a dark cocoa so I REALLY have a chocolate pie! Lucky for me, few of my family members like coconut ;-) Thanks for sharing!
