Coconut Pecan Chocolate German Pie

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

For a different twist, try adding a tablespoon of dark rum or bourbon to the filling for an extra depth of flavor. If you prefer a less sweet pie, use unsweetened coconut and reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup. You can also substitute walnuts for pecans if you like a different nutty flavor. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust.
