This was kind of a creation that happened when I found one yummy pie recipe and accidentally poked a hole in the crust. Some of my best creations are accidents! This makes two pies and freezes really well!

Steps:
- 1. Broil coconut and chopped pecans on a baking sheet until lightly toasted and browned. Remove from oven and cool.
- 2. Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth.
- 3. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring into pie crust. Start at the center of the crust and work outward.
- 4. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add condensed milk and mix until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread 1/4 of cream cheese mixture into each pastry shell. Sprinkle 1/4 of coconut mixture over each pie. Drizzle 1/2 of caramel topping over each coconut layer. Follow with remaining cream cheese mixture, then remaining coconut mixture.
- 5. Pies may be served chilled or frozen.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round, then fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp edge.
- Whisk together corn syrup, sugar, eggs, flour, butter, vanilla, and salt until combined. Stir in melted chocolate and pecans and pour into pie shell.
- If dulce de leche is very thick, thin with 2 to 3 teaspoon water. Pour dulce de leche over top of pie and swirl with a fork (swirl will not be visible in baked pie). Arrange whole pecans on top.
- Bake until top is puffed but slightly wobbly in center, about 50 minutes. Cool to room temperature, at least 2 hours.◊
Tips:
- Make sure to use high-quality chocolate for the ganache. A good quality chocolate will yield a richer, more flavorful ganache.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can check the temperature of the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- When making the caramel, be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked caramel will be hard and brittle.
- To prevent the chocolate from seizing, make sure the cream is hot but not boiling when you add it to the chocolate.
- If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan.
- Serve the pie chilled or at room temperature.
