German Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

Directions*

1. Prepare the Crust:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust.

2. Make the Filling:

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the melted chocolate and mix until well combined.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour the filling over the crust.

3. Bake the Cheesecake:

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature.

4. Prepare the Topping:

In a medium bowl, mix the pecans, shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled cheesecake.

5. Add the Final Touch:

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the topping. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
