For Coconut-Pecan Topping:

¾ cup pecans-chopped
Instructions
- To make the crust in a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Add pieces of cold butter and press with a fork until it starts to look like a coarse meal. Add 1 tablespoon of water at the time and continue mixing until a dough forms. Wrap the dough with the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and lightly grease 9-inch pie dish.
- Take the dough from refrigerator and roll out on a lightly floured work surface into a circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a pie dish and trim excess of dough from edges, crimp the edges and poke the bottom of the crust with a fork. Bake 10-12 minutes. Let it cool while you make chocolate filling.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 F.
- To make the filling in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat melt ¼ cup butter and chopped chocolate, stirring constantly until smooth. Let it cool to lukewarm.
- Stir in sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and vanilla. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans and pour into crust.
- Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes, until set. Cool completely before add topping.
- To make the topping in a medium saucepan stir together sweetened condensed milk, butter and lightly beaten egg yolks. Cook over medium-low heat until thickens, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, coconut and pecans. Cool 30 minutes, then spread over pie.
- Refrigerate the pie at least 3-4 hours before serving.
- Garnish with pecans if desired.
