German Chocolate Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 (8-ounce) package Baker’s semi-sweet chocolate
• ¼ cup butter or margarine
• 1 (13-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1⅓ cups  shredded coconut
• 3 eggs, slightly beaten
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell (you’ll need a deep-dish)
• whipped cream or ice cream (optional, but this is so rich, you’ll need it)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
    
2. In a saucepan, melt chocolate and butter over medium heat.
    
3. Add sweetened condensed milk, coconut, eggs and sugar. Stir until blended.
    
4. Pour into unbaked pie shell (I used a frozen one, and the filling came all the way up to the top!)
    
5. Set pie on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 400 deg oven for 30 -40min.
    
6. Cool or serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice-cream.
    
7. Store in refrigerator.

Note: Serves 12.
