Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the crust by setting aside the store-bought chocolate cookie pie crust or mixing crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter and sugar to press into a pie dish. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Toast coconut and pecans by spreading them on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F for 5-7 minutes until golden.
  3. Melt German's sweet chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Add melted chocolate and sweetened condensed milk; mix until creamy.
  5. Fold half of the whipped topping into the chocolate mixture until combined.
  6. Gently mix in half of the toasted coconut and pecans into the filling.
  7. Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, top with remaining whipped topping, toasted coconut, and pecans. Drizzle with caramel sauce and add chocolate shavings if desired.
