Description

This No-Bake German Chocolate Pie is an easy and decadent dessert featuring a luscious cream cheese and German sweet chocolate filling mixed with coconut and pecans, all set in a chocolate cookie or graham cracker crust. Topped with caramel sauce and garnished with extra coconut and pecans, this pie offers a rich, creamy texture and classic Southern-inspired flavors without the need for baking.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 (6-ounce) chocolate cookie or graham cracker pie crust

Filling

  • 1 (4-ounce) bar German sweet chocolate, chopped
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Topping

  • ½ cup caramel sauce
  • Additional shredded coconut, for garnish (optional)
  • Additional chopped pecans, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped German sweet chocolate and whole milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Chocolate and Cream Cheese: Gradually mix the melted chocolate into the cream cheese until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping to the chocolate cream cheese mixture until the filling is light and fluffy.
  5. Add Coconut and Pecans: Stir in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans evenly through the filling.
  6. Fill Pie Crust: Spoon the filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Drizzle Caramel Sauce: Pour the caramel sauce over the top of the pie and gently swirl it into the filling with a knife or toothpick for a decorative effect.
  8. Garnish: Sprinkle additional shredded coconut and chopped pecans over the top if desired.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling is fully set.
  10. Serve: Slice and serve chilled for a rich, creamy, and satisfying dessert.

Notes

  • For a stronger chocolate flavor, substitute semi-sweet chocolate for the German sweet chocolate.
  • This pie can be prepared up to 2 days in advance; keep it well covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • Use a deep-dish pie plate to accommodate the rich filling comfortably.
  • Allow the melted chocolate mixture to cool slightly before mixing with cream cheese to prevent curdling.
