Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and salt until well blended. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla, continuing to mix until creamy and well combined.
- Incorporate the eggs one by one, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next.
- Add the sour cream and heavy cream, mixing until everything is well blended.
- Pour this luxurious cheesecake batter over the cookie crust and smooth the top.
- Place the springform pan into a larger baking pan and fill it with boiling water to create a water bath.
Baking and Cooling
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center of the cheesecake is set.
- Once baked, let the cheesecake cool gradually in the water bath before transferring it to the fridge to chill for at least four hours, or ideally overnight.
Finishing Touches
- Toast the shredded coconut in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
- Before serving, drizzle the cheesecake with salted caramel sauce, sprinkle toasted coconut on top, and garnish with chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, whipped topping, and the coconut cookies.
