Preparation

Step 1

Melt chocolate with butter over low heat, stirring until blended. Remove from heat; gradually blend in milk. Mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt thoroughly. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Gradually blend in chocolate mixture. Pour into pie shell. Combine coconut and nuts; sprinkle over filling. Bake 45-50 minutes at 375, or until puffed and browned (filling will be soft, but will set while cooling). Cool at least 4 hours before cutting.
