We first ate this delicious dessert in Alton, IL, at the "Just Desserts" Cafe-- where Abraham Lincoln visited when it was a courthouse. The owner gives away the recipe for Mrs. Ledbetter's German Chocolate Pie. I had all the stuff with a hint to my guys how it would be a lovely substitute for birthday cake. Captain and Winger worked jointly on the project. With coconut and pecans on top, how could I not be happy?!
