A rich and decadent no-bake German Pecan Chocolate Pie featuring a buttery graham cracker and pecan crust, ideal for a quick, oven-free dessert with traditional German chocolate flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (chocolate or honey)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 6 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 12 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional for topping)
  • 1/4 cup additional chopped pecans (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and chopped pecans.
  2. Add melted butter and mix until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Press mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
  4. Chill crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
  5. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer, then remove from heat.
  6. Add the chopped chocolate, vanilla extract, and salt to the hot cream. Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
  7. Pour the chocolate filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
  8. Top with shredded coconut and additional chopped pecans if desired.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until the filling is set.
  10. Let the pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free version.
  • Toasted pecans add extra flavor to the crust and garnish.
  • Swap chocolate graham crackers or Oreos for a richer crust.
  • For a firmer filling, reduce the cream slightly or chill overnight.
