Coconut Cream Cheesecake. The ultimate indulgence for coconut lovers with toasted coconut in the crust & in the cheesecake batter for full coconut flavour!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Coconut Cream Cheesecake<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019d planned to develop a recipe for Coconut Cream Cheesecake for a quite a while now but never got around to it until this week. The inspiration, or maybe just the reminder, came from our\u00a0server\u00a0at Merchant Tavern<\/strong><\/a> <\/span>last week, which I wrote about earlier. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was a visit that also inspired our newest chicken wing recipe:\u00a0Southern Fried Wings with Chipotle Aioli and Honey Drizzle<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the meal she was describing the dessert specials when she inadvertently went off on a tangent. She described the incredible dessert she had the evening before at a different restaurant, which she didn\u2019t mention by name. <\/span><\/p>\n

The dessert, by coincidence, was Coconut Cream Cheesecake. I said to Spouse, \u201cI\u2019ve been meaning to try something like that. We should do it next week.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The discussion then ensued on how to infuse the most coconut flavour into a cheesecake and keeping it as creamy as possible. We both agreed that toasted dried coconut would be best because the toasting brings out more flavour. <\/span><\/p>\n

That idea had worked well in our recent recipe for Toasted Coconut Tea Biscuits<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span> A little pure coconut extract would surely help too, we thought.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally we discussed how to incorporate coconut milk into the recipe. I was a little worried that the coconut milk would affect the creaminess of the final baked cheesecake. <\/span><\/p>\n

Especially if I substituted it for all of the whipping cream that I normally add in cheesecake recipes.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, I settled on a blend of coconut milk and whipping cream as a balance, favouring the coconut milk to make up most of the blend. It worked very well indeed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fine cut dried (desiccated) unsweetened coconut is the type to use in this recipe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Although, I did notice that the coconut milk did make the cheesecake require a longer baking time. Not to worry though; even though it was in the oven at a low temp for 90 minutes. <\/span><\/p>\n

As you can see from the slice of cheesecake in the photo above it was still incredibly creamy and smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also worried about the texture of the coconut affecting the creaminess of the cheesecake. But since we used fine cut, this did not turn out to be a problem at all. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was almost as smooth and creamy as our now famous Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie<\/strong><\/a>,<\/span> which is one of the most popular recipes out of the over 1700 to be found here. I expect this recipe might just give that top hit a run for its money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trust me, this is one recipe all coconut dessert lovers just have to try.<\/span><\/p>\n
