Method

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the 1/3 cup sugar and the cornstarch. Stir in the milk, chocolate and 1 tablespoon butter or margarine. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Gradually stir about 1 cup of mixture into egg yolks. Return mixture to saucepan; bring to boiling. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir in vanilla. Turn the hot pie filling into the baked pie shell. In another saucepan, combine the beaten egg, evaporated milk, the 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup butter or margarine. Cook and stir over medium heat just until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in the coconut and pecans. Spread the pecan mixture evenly over the chocolate filling. Cool the pie on a wire rack. Chill thoroughly.
