Ingredients 
1 package active dry yeast
 1/2 cup warm water
 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
 1/4 cup sugar
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 1 egg
 1/2 cup margarine, softened
 2 (8-oz) cream cheese softened 
 1 (3-oz) package cream cheese, softened
 1 cup sugar
 1/3 cup cocoa
 3 eggs
 2 teaspoons vanilla

 Coconut-Pecan Topping

 1/2 cup sugar
 1 egg
 1/2 cup evaporated milk
 1/4 cup margarine 
 2/3 cup flaked coconut
 1/2 cup chopped pecans 
 1 teaspoon vanilla        
  
  
         
                             
Directions  

 1. In large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1 cup flour, 
1/4 cup sugar, salt, egg and margarine, stirring vigorously until smooth. 
Add enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.

 2. Turn onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 
3 to 5 minutes. Cover; let rest 20 minutes. 

 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease jelly roll pan. Press dough in
 bottom and up sides of pan.

 4. Beat cream cheese well. Gradually beat in sugar and cocoa until fluffy.
 Beat in 3 eggs (one at a time) and vanilla. Pour into crust.

 5. Bake until crust is golden brown and center is set, about 20-30 minutes.
 Cool. Spread with coconut-pecan topping. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until 
chilled and firm. Cut into 2-inch squares. Keep refrigerated.

 Coconut-Pecan Topping

 1. Heat sugar, egg, milk, and margarine in saucepan over medium-low heat, 
stirring constantly until thick. Remove from heat; stir in remaining ingredients, cool.
