Monkey Chocolate - German Chocolate Pie

German Chocolate Pie

Ok, let's get one thing straight right off the bat - it's not really German, it's really American. There, now that that has been said we will be calm enough to give you a recipe for a great German chocolate pie. So, why is ti called German, you ask? Well, that's easy, it's because the recipe calls for Baker's German's sweet chocolate and that is that.

German chocolate pie is an easy dessert solution

Here at Monkey chocolate we tend to favor the recipes that take the least amount of time, the least amount of effort, and a maximum of results. A German chocolate pie is all of these things and more! You don't even have to pre-heat the oven, because this thing sets in the freezer. Just whip up the ingredients, pour it in a pie shell and you're home free! Here's what you're going to need:

1 tablespoon sugar
3 ounces cream cheese
1/3 cup milk
8 ounces whipped topping
1 graham cracker pie crust
4 ounces Baker's German's sweet chocolate

Put 2 tablespoons of the milk into a small saucepan and add the chocolate, heat over a low flame until the chocolate is melted - stirring constantly.

Beat together the sugar and the cream cheese, then add the rest of the milk and the melted chocolate and fold in the whipped topping.

Pour this into the pie shell and place it in the freezer until it sets and is firm to the touch. It should sit out for an hour before serving.

Learning that this dessert as well as German chocolate cake are not really German at all can be a bit of a let-down, we know. But, you can take solace in the fact that if you really want to get a taste of Germany, there are many fine German chocolates available that rival the quality of all European chocolate!
