Instructions

For the crust:

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor or blender. Add butter and pulse until a coarse meal forms. Slowly blend in just enough ice water to form moist clumps. Gather the dough into a ball and divide in half (you can use a kitchen scale if you want them to be perfectly even). Form dough into 2 balls and gently flatten into disks. Wrap each disk in plastic and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.

For fillings and assembly:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F).
On a generously floured surface roll dough out and into a large circle; about 1/8" in thickness. Carefully fold in 4 and transfer to a 9-in. pie plate; unfold and fit it into the plate. Trim the edges to about a 1/2 inch over the rim of the plate, then fold or flute the edges to your liking.
Line the pie crust with a double layer of aluminum foil, then fill with pie weights or uncooked rice.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until bottom is lightly golden brown. Remove foil and weights and bake for 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 375 degrees (F).
In a microwave or double-boiler, melt chocolates in a large heat-proof bowl; stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature, then whisk in milk, egg, egg yolks, vanilla, and salt. Fold in pecans.
Pour chocolate filling into the crust and bake for 15 - 18 minutes, or until center is set. Cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack.
While the pie is cooling, make your coconut topping!
In a small heavy saucepan, combine brown sugar, half and half and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat.
Place egg yolks in a small bowl, whisk a small amount of hot cream mixture into the yolks to temper the mixture, then return everything to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook 2-3 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly; the mixture will thicken during this time. Remove from heat. Stir in coconut and vanilla; cool 10 minutes.
Pour coconut mixture over chocolate filling and sprinkle with pecans. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before cutting into slices and serving.
