curried coconut soup crowned with Szechuan pepper
I would favour 'curried coconut soup crowned with Szechuan pepper' or 'curried coconut soup with a Szechuan pepper crown'.
'Curried coconut' (adj. + noun) is the more usual form of expressing this, rather than 'curry coconut' (two nouns, which would need to be separated by an 'and', resulting in the longer and more clumsy 'curry and coconut soup').
As for the 'Haube', this could be made from a wide range of ingredients, including whisked cream and pepper (presented a little like a cappucino), a thicker cream containing eggs and pepper, a floating spicy dumpling - or even a pastry and pepper topping that provides a lid over the soup bowl.
I find the word 'crown' a lot more appealing than 'topping' and reflects the fact that the 'Haube' is on top of the soup (probably either floating or, if it is pastry, attached to the top rim of the soup bowl), without being too specific.
Naturally, the only way that you can be certain is to ask the client exactly how the 'Haube' is made.

capped off with Szechuan pepper
or topped off with Szechuan pepper
I see your point about the difficulty of Pfefferhaube, whatever that is. My suggestions try to convey the "finished off" idea of a Haube, i.e. it's on top of the soup.

curry coconut soup coated/covered with Szechuan pepper
or 'curry coconut soup topped with Szechuan pepper'
- would be my suggestion.

German term (edited):
mit Szechuan Pfefferhaube
spiked with Szechuan pepper
FWIW, "spiked with pepper" gets its fair share of googles.

Reference:
au gratin
Here, they've translated 'Pfefferhaube' as 'au gratin'.
Not sure if it would be right in your case as a gratin can have breadcrumbs, grated cheese, egg, butter etc. in.
I presume that your dish isn't just soup with a bit of pepper sprinkled on the top, though.
