Ingredients

• 0.33 cups white sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 , 9 inch

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine 1/3 cup sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in milk, chocolate, and 1 tablespoon butter. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir about 2 minutes more.

2. 2

   Beat 2 egg yolks in a medium bowl; gradually stir in about 1 cup of the warm chocolate mixture until smooth (this will prevent the eggs from curdling.) Pour this mixture back into the saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir in vanilla.

3. 3

   Pour hot chocolate filling into the baked pie shell.

4. 4

   Combine 1 beaten egg, evaporated milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup butter in another saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in coconut and pecans.

5. 5

   Spread pecan mixture evenly over chocolate filling. Cool pie on a wire rack; chill pie thoroughly before serving.
