How to Make Copycat Kentucky Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 4 large eggs until light and fluffy.
Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, 1 cup shredded coconut, and 1/4 cup dark rum (optional).
Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter or margarine. Let cool slightly, then stir into the batter.
Pour 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
Pour the batter over the chocolate chips.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.
Drizzle with chocolate syrup, top with whipped cream, and serve with vanilla ice cream.
