Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos, without filling)
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

1 package (4 oz) German’s sweet chocolate, chopped
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
⅓ cup milk
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

For the topping:

¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup chopped pecans
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: Extra whipped topping and chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

· In a medium bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly combined.

· Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

· In a small saucepan, combine the German’s sweet chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and milk. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

· In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until well combined.

· Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture to the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth.

· Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.

· Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.

· While the pie chills, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix together coconut, pecans, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

· Once the pie is set, spoon the coconut-pecan topping evenly over the top of the pie.

· Garnish with extra whipped topping and chocolate shavings if desired. Chill again until ready to serve.
