3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 unbaked deep-dish pie shell (9 inches)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1-1/3 cups flaked coconut
In a saucepan, melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring to mix well. Remove from the heat and gradually blend in milk; set aside. In a bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in eggs and vanilla. Gradually stir in chocolate mixture. Pour into pastry shell. Combine pecans and coconut; sprinkle over filling. Bake at 375° for 45-50 minutes or until puffed and browned.
