  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven and prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan.
  2. Let the cake cool for about ten minutes before poking holes all over the surface using the handle of a wooden spoon.
  3. Pour sweetened condensed milk over the warm cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  4. Drizzle caramel sauce evenly over the top.
  5. In a saucepan, melt butter and mix in shredded coconut and chopped pecans; spread this mixture on top of the cake.
  6. For ganache, heat heavy cream until simmering, pour over chocolate chips, let sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth. Spread over the coconut-pecan layer.
  7. Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.
