How to Make German Chocolate Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Beat in 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 3 large eggs, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Stir in 1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut and 2 cups pecan halves.
  5. Pour mixture into one 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
