Ingredients

• 1 whole Pre-made pie crust
• 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Light corn syrup
• 4 whole Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Shaved dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and crimp them if desired.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture until smooth and uniform.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded sweetened coconut and chopped pecans.

Step 7

Pour the chocolate-coconut-pecan filling into the prepared pie crust. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1-2 hours. This will allow the filling to set completely.

Step 10

While the pie cools, make the whipped cream topping. Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Step 11

Slice the cooled pie and serve with a dollop of whipped cream. If desired, garnish with shaved dark chocolate for an extra decorative touch.
