Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour hot chocolate filling into the baked pie shell.
- 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.
- Spread pecan mixture evenly over chocolate filling. Cool pie on a wire rack; chill pie thoroughly before serving.
