Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup chopped pecans
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
Topping (optional):
Additional shredded coconut
Additional chopped pecans
Chocolate curls

Method
 

Prepare the Crust:
    - In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
      - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
        Make the Cheesecake Filling:
          - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
            - Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
              - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
                - Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain.
                  - Fold in the shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and melted chocolate until evenly distributed.
                    Assemble the Cheesecake:
                      - Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
                        - Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
                          Serve:
                            - Once the cheesecake is set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
                              - If desired, top with additional shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and chocolate curls for garnish.
                                - Slice and enjoy this creamy, decadent treat!
