Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (divided)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl; press into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden.
  2. In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in coconut milk until combined.
  3. Pour half of the filling over the baked crust; sprinkle with half of the shredded coconut. Add remaining filling and top with more shredded coconut.
  4. Bake for about one hour until edges are firm but center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for another hour.
  5. Chill in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight before serving. Drizzle warm caramel sauce over slices and top with melted chocolate chips if desired.
