  Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.

  Crust:

  In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, the 1/4 cup of
  granulated sugar, and the 1/4 cup of butter. Mix well. Press the
  crumb mixture onto the bottom and 1" up the sides of a 9"
  springform pan.

  In the preheated oven, bake the crust for 10 minutes or until
  golden brown. Allow the crust to cool completely.

  Filling:

  In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and the 1 cup of
  granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at time, mixing
  well after each addition. Add the cocoa, flour, and 1 tb vanilla
  extract. Mix until just well blended. Do not overmix. Pour the
  filling into the cooled crust.

  In the preheated oven, bake for 25 minutes or until a wooden pick
  inserted into the near center comes out clean. Refrigerate for at
  least 2 hours.

  Topping:

  In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, 1-3/4 cups granulated
  sugar, 3/4 cup butter, 5 egg yolks, and 1/2 ts vanilla extract.
  Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat
  and simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until thickened,
  stirring occasionally. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  Stir the flaked coconut and pecan pieces into the chilled topping
  mixture. Spread the topping evenly over the chilled cheese cake.

  Yield: 1 Cheesecake (9")
