Instructions
Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar.
Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely.
Toast the Coconut
Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5–8 minutes, stirring once or twice.
Watch carefully because coconut can brown quickly.
Remove when lightly golden and let it cool.
Make the Caramel Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and salt.
Mix until the filling is completely smooth.
Fold in the toasted coconut, reserving a small amount for decoration.
Spoon the filling into the cooled chocolate crust and spread it evenly.
Prepare the Chocolate Topping
Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until steaming but not boiling.
Pour the warm cream over the chocolate chips and let stand for 2 minutes.
Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
Allow the ganache to cool slightly before spreading it over the caramel coconut filling.
Decorate the Pie
Drizzle caramel sauce over the chocolate topping.
Add thin lines of melted chocolate.
Sprinkle the reserved toasted coconut over the top.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm enough to slice.
