Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Stir in shredded coconut and chopped pecans.
Spread the filling evenly over the crust.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top and gently swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Notes

For a richer crust, use chocolate graham crackers or crushed Oreos.
Toast the coconut and pecans beforehand for extra flavor.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days; not suitable for freezing due to the no-bake texture.
