Makes 1 9" pie
1 recipe Alton's pie crust (do not blind-bake)
4 ounces German's sweet baking chocolate
Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare a pie pan and pie shell.
Melt chocolate and butter together using your preferred method (see Note). Stir in evaporated milk and set aside.
Mix together sugar, cornstarch and salt, then add eggs and vanilla. Whisk in chocolate, then stir in pecans and coconut.
Bake for 45 - 50 minutes. It will appear soft and jiggly, but will firm up as it cools. Cool for 4+ hours to room temperature then refrigerate overnight. Serve topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings (or, if you're like my husband, with sour cream!)
