Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer flavor
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2.5 lb cream cheese softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create a crust and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then fold in the vanilla, coconut, and chopped pecans.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once set, slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious cheesecake!
