No-Bake German Chocolate Pie

Ingredients

  1. (1) package Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs (see post for more info on this)
  2. 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  3. 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
  4. 2 and 1/4 cups heavy cream
  5. 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into cubes
  6. 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  7. 1/2 cup half and half
  8. 2 ounces SALTED butter, cut into tiny pieces
  9. 2 large egg yolks
  10. (1) 7 oz bag sweetened shredded coconut
  11. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  12. 1/4 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. For the Oreo Cookie Crust:

    In a large bowl combine Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter, mix well to combine. Press the crust into a 9" pie plate, pressing it in the middle and up the sides. Place crust in the freezer for 30 minutes.

  2. For the Chocolate Ganache Filling:

    Add chopped chocolate to a large heatproof bowl; set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium-heat, bring the cream to a low simmer then remove from hear. Pour the warm cream on top of the chopped chocolate and set aside for 1 minute. Using a whisk, stir the chocolate and cream together, whisking until the the melted chocolate and cream are completely combined; about 2 minutes.
  4. Add in the butter and use a spatula to stir until the butter is completely melted.
  5. Pour into chilled crust and place in the refrigerator to chill for least 2 hours.

  6. For the German Chocolate Topping:

    In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, half and half and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat.
  7. Place egg yolks in a small bowl, whisk a small amount of hot cream mixture into the yolks to temper the mixture, then return everything to the pan, whisking constantly.
  8. Cook 2-3 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly; the mixture will thicken during this time. Remove from heat. Stir in coconut and vanilla; cool 15 minutes.
  9. Remove pie from the refrigerator and spoon the mixture over chocolate filling, then sprinkle with pecans.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting into slices and serving.
