Directions:

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 heat to low and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in reserved gelatin mixture and refrigerate until mixture holds its shape. Whip 1 c. cream until stiff and fold into gelatine mixture until no streaks remain. Pour into chilled Chocolate Coconut Crust. Sprinkle with marshmallows and walnuts and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight. Just before serving, make topping. In a small glass bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter in a microwave on high 40 seconds until melted and smooth when stirred. Stir in remaining 1 T. cream. Let cool 5 minutes, then drizzle over pie and serve.
