Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Mixer
  • Spatula
  • Springform Pan
  • Large Baking Pan

Ingredients

  • 32 oz cream cheese
  • 1.25 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 0.5 cup melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • Mix the vanilla wafer crumbs with sweetened shredded coconut and melted butter.
  • Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined.
  • Incorporate the sour cream, vanilla extract, and coconut cream into the mixture.
  • Set aside 2 cups of the batter and stir additional sweetened shredded coconut into the remaining batter.
  • Pour the plain batter into the prepared crust, then gently spoon the coconut batter on top to maintain layers.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath for about 90 minutes until the center jiggles slightly.
  • Turn off the oven, crack the door, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for an hour.
  • Refrigerate overnight for the best texture and slice cleanly.
  • Before serving, whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla for topping, and sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top.

Notes

Be sure to bring your cream cheese and eggs to room temperature for a smoother batter. Avoid overmixing once you've added the eggs to prevent cracks in your cheesecake. Use a water bath to help maintain moisture and avoid cracking during baking. This cheesecake can be topped with whipped cream and toasted coconut for added flavor and presentation. Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your preference—taste the batter before baking! For an impressive presentation, refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.
