No-Bake German Chocolate Pie (Fast & Foolproof)

Ingredients

For the Chocolate Base

• 1 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker crust
• 1 (3.9 oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix
• 1¾ cups cold milk
• 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade)

For the Coconut-Pecan Topping

• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: shaved white chocolate or extra pecans for garnish

This ingredient list keeps the recipe wonderfully simple. Instant pudding thickens quickly with cold milk, the whipped topping adds lightness, and the coconut-pecan mixture forms a sticky, sweet topping that sets firmly once chilled. A ready-made crust brings the dessert together without any baking at all.
