Step 3: Assemble the Pie
- Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours, or until the filling is firm.
Step 4: Prepare the Topping
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the brown sugar and heavy cream, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Stir in the coconut and pecans, cooking for 1–2 minutes until everything is slightly toasted and well combined.
- Let the topping cool for a few minutes before spreading it over the chilled chocolate filling.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Slice the pie into generous pieces, making sure each slice gets some of the coconut-pecan topping.
- Optional: Garnish with extra chocolate shavings or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added indulgence.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, nutty, and chocolatey flavors all in one bite.
Tips for the Perfect No-Bake German Chocolate Pie
- Softening the cream cheese: Leave it at room temperature for 30–60 minutes before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Chilling time: For a firmer pie, let it set overnight.
- Nut alternatives: If pecans aren’t available, walnuts are a great substitute.
- Make it mini: Use a muffin tin or small tart pans for single-serving versions.
