Description

This No-Bake German Chocolate Pie combines the decadence of a chocolate mousse-like filling
with the signature coconut-pecan topping loved in classic German chocolate cake. The contrast
of silky and crunchy textures makes every bite unforgettable—and the no-bake method keeps it simple!

Tips

• For cleaner slices, chill the pie longer—overnight works best.
• Using high-quality chocolate makes the flavor richer.
• Save time by using a store-bought chocolate crust.
• The pie stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Add chocolate shavings or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for decoration.

Correction

If the filling turns out too soft, it may need additional chilling time.
Ensure the melted chocolate is not too hot when added to avoid melting the cream cheese.
