I'm known among family and friends for my desserts. This one is their very favorite. It's been a sweet standby of mine for some 20 years now. Ingredients:
4 ounces german sweet chocolate, chopped |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 unbaked deep-dish pastry shell (9 inches) |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1-1/3 cups flaked coconut |
Directions:
1. In a microwave, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Gradually add milk; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in eggs and vanilla. Gradually stir in chocolate mixture. Pour into pastry shell.
3. Combine pecans and coconut; sprinkle over filling. Bake at 375° for 45-50 minutes or until puffed and browned.
4. Cool for 4 hours. Chill until serving (filling will become firm as it cools). Yield: 6-8 servings.
