Ingredients
1 graham cracker crust
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup whipped topping
1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted

Instructions
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Stir constantly until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully combined.
- Fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the cream cheese mixture, blending until smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping, making sure it’s fully incorporated.
- Add the toasted coconut and pecans, and stir gently to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the pie to set properly.
- Garnish with additional toasted coconut and pecans if desired before serving.
Notes
- Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free graham cracker crust to make this pie suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Chocolate Lovers: For an extra chocolatey experience, add a layer of chocolate ganache on top before refrigerating the pie.
- Nut-Free: Omit the pecans if you prefer a nut-free version, or swap them for other nuts like almonds or cashews.
- Coconut-Free: If you’re not a fan of coconut, you can leave it out or replace it with a layer of caramel for a different flavor profile.
- Vegan: Substitute the cream cheese with a plant-based alternative and use a non-dairy whipped topping to make it vegan-friendly.
