Ingredients

1 9 inch premade deep dish cookie, chocolate cookie or graham cracker pie crust
1 8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 14 oz can dulce de leche, plus 1/4 cup [See Cook's note]
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 8 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed or 2 cup fresh sweetened whipped cream
1 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut toasted and cooled
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
5 Tbsp heavy cream divided plus additional as needed to thin

Instructions

Preheat the oven to broil and move the rack to the upper third of the oven. Spread the coconut onto a sheet pan. Toast for 5-8 minutes stirring often until golden brown. Cool completely
In a medium mixing bowl use a mixer to whip together the softened cream cheese, dulce de leche and vanilla. Whip for 2 minutes or until fluffy and light golden brown in color.
To the bowl add the whipped cream beating with a hand mixer until fully combined. Spread into the pie shell.
Make Toppings: In a microwave safe bowl, place 1/4 cup of dulce de leche with 2 Tbsp heavy cream.
In a separate microwave safe bowl add the chocolate chips and 3 Tbsp heavy cream.
Melt each in the microwave in 20 second increments stopping to stir. Repeat the process until completely smooth. Add additional cream if needed to thin for drizzling.
Assemble the Pie: Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the filling and drizzle with the melted caramel and chocolate. Chill for at least 4 hours or until set.

Notes

Dulce de Leche is a luscious thick caramel made from reducing sweetened condensed milk. It's readily available in most grocery stores in the Hispanic foods section and specialty food stores such as World Market and William-Sonoma. If desired, a thick ice cream topping could be substituted in it's place.
