If you love german chocolate cake, then you’ll love this recipe: homemade german chocolate pie. It’s so rich and creamy.
Pair it with a big glass of ice cold milk and you have the breakfast of champions! I kid…well sort of. We all know that if there’s pie for dessert, chances are (if there is any left), there will be pie for breakfast too.
We are updating this favorite pie recipe with some new photos and a video! Now you can see just how to make it! (video below)
We are big chocolate lovers at our house, and by we I mostly mean my daughter and I. For some reason the boys in our house are vanilla lovers all the way, but we don’t mind, because it only means more chocolate for us. (wink)
This post has a mix of the old and new photos…I wanted to leave both up. Which one will you pin…the old or the new?
This pie is like chocolate pudding and german chocolate cake happy together.
Here’s a bit of the step by step in photos. The full recipe will follow.
