Ingredients

• 1 Pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Light corn syrup
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Toasted coconut flakes (optional for garnish)
• 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by placing the pre-made pie crust into it and crimping the edges.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter together in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and eggs until thoroughly combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl with the egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans, ensuring the mixture is evenly combined.

Step 6

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

While the pie cools, prepare the whipped cream topping. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.

Step 10

Once the pie is cooled, spread the whipped cream over the top in an even layer.

Step 11

If desired, garnish the pie with toasted coconut flakes and chocolate shavings for an extra touch of decadence.

Step 12

Slice and serve! Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
