Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Fold in the whipped cream until smooth and fluffy.
- Combine Layers: Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top and gently press them into the filling. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Prepare the Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Finish the Cheesecake: Once the cheesecake has set, pour the chocolate ganache over the top, spreading it evenly. Chill for an additional hour to let the ganache set.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled. Enjoy the delightful layers of flavor with every bite!
