3. Make the caramel. Place the brown sugar, cream and corn syrup in a medium sauce pan. Heat over medium, whisking frequently until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for five minutes, whisking occassionally. Remove from heat. Whisk in the butter, vanilla and salt. Set aside to cool completely.
4. When ready to assemble, spoon half of the coffee ice cream into a bowl. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Stir with a silicone spatula until smooth. Spread over the frozen crust. Drizzle 1/4 cup caramel sauce over the top. Free for 20 minutes. 
5. Repeat with the remaining caramel ice cream. Do not add the caramel to the final layer. Freeze.
6. Make the ganache. Place the chocolate, cream and corn syrup in a bowl. Place over a pan of simmering water and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt. Let cool to room temperature. 
7. Remove the pie from the freezer. Spread ganache over the top. Place in freezer while spooning remaining caramel into a piping bag. Snip the tie and pipe over the ganache. Sprinkle on the remaining pecans. Freeze for at least 3 hours before serving.
