1. To make Bavarian filling, in a glass measure, sprinkle gelatin over coffee to soften; set aside. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, milk, and cocoa. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce to low and cook 2 mins. Remove from heat; stir in reserved gelatin mixture and refrigerate until mixture holds its shape.

2. Whip 1 cup cream until stiff and fold into gelatin mixture until no streaks of white remain. Turn into chilled Chocolate Coconut Crust.

Sprinkle marshmallows and walnuts over top. Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.

3. Just before serving, make topping: In a small glass bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter in microwave on High 30 to 40 seconds, or until melted and smooth when stirred. Stir in remaining 1 Tbs cream.

Let cool for 5 mins, then drizzle over pie and serve.

NOTES : A fabulous pie with a chocolate coconut crust, a chocolate Bavarian filling and a rocky road-style topping. This will send any chocolate lover into waves of wild ecstasy.
