Directions
-
Start by taking a mixing bowl and whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens, which should take about 2 minutes. The pudding should have a tremendous creamy consistency that’s perfect for spreading onto your crust.
-
Next, gently fold in the whipped topping until it is fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture; you want to retain that light, fluffy texture.
-
Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom, ensuring you have a generous layer of delicious chocolate.
-
In another bowl, combine the shredded coconut, chopped pecans, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix all these ingredients well until they are fully incorporated. The combination creates a tremendous topping that is both crunchy and sweet.
