Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder, and butter.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Fold in the chopped pecans and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Allow the fudge to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into 16 squares.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
