Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup German chocolate, melted and cooled (or semi-sweet chocolate)

For the Topping:

• ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp heavy cream

For the Crust:

• 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust (9-inch)

Instructions

1. Make the Filling
   In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Fold in melted chocolate. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold into the chocolate mixture until fully combined.
2. Fill the Crust
   Spoon the chocolate filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
3. Prepare the Topping
   In a small skillet over medium heat, combine coconut, pecans, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly caramelized. Let cool slightly.
4. Assemble the Pie
   Spread the coconut-pecan topping evenly over the chilled chocolate filling.
5. Serve
   Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with extra chocolate shavings if desired.
