German Chocolate Fudge Pie

German Chocolate Fudge Pie Two in the Kitchen v

Only 17 days until Thanksgiving.  Can you believe it?  I am having a hard time wrapping my head around how close the holidays are.

But thinking of the holidays is putting pie on my mind!  I absolutely love the decadence of the holiday season.  And pie is one of those things that I really only eat in November and December.

So with pie on my brain, I really wanted to create something that was less than traditional.  I mean, I love pumpkin pie and pecan pie.  They are two of my favorite things to eat on Thanksgiving.  But I also like something that is chocolatey as well.

So flipping though some of my baking magazines, I ran across German Chocolate Cake.  And it struck me:  Why not German Chocolate Pie??  Ding, ding, ding……we have a winner!!!

Now I love my sweets, in case you couldn’t tell around here.  But I’m telling you:  This German Chocolate Fudge Pie just completely sent me into dessert heaven!!

Look at that rich fudgey base.  It is truly a chocolate lover’s fantasy.  And that pecan, coconut frosting is hard not to eat directly from the bowl.  I had to stop myself before there was no more left for the pie!  😉

  13. I can’t believe how close Thanksgiving is. My husband was talking about making plans and I thought he was crazy for wanting to plan so early. Then I realized it isn’t that far away.

    • Sorry I am responding so late, I took a little break from the blog. I let the pie cool completely before frosting and then put it in the fridge to firm up. You can serve it at room temp after refrigerating for a little while.

    • Nope. You bake the pie crust along with the filling, all together. I used a refrigerated Pillsbury Pie crust that you unroll and place in the pie plate. Then fill it with the filling and bake it all together. 🙂
