Step-by-Step Instructions for No-Bake German Chocolate Pie
  1. If you're making your own crust, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar until it resembles wet sand. Press into a 9-inch pie dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gradually mix in sweetened condensed milk, then fold in melted chocolate and whipped topping until well combined.
  4. Pour the chocolate filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Before serving, sprinkle toasted coconut and chopped pecans on top. Optionally drizzle with caramel sauce or chocolate.
