"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."

Questions & Replies

I made this pie for Thanksgiving. The flavor was wonderful, but the consistency was like pudding when cutting. What did I do wrong? The ingredients almost overflowed when pouring into a 10 in. pie shell (even before adding the coconut/pecans.). Help! and Thanks
