Key ingredients for this Coconut Cheesecake
Like we said, super easy and simple; but there are a few ingredients you need to have on hand.
Cream Cheese – The body of the cake, make sure to pull your cream cheese a few hours before to temper it and make sure you can whip it evenly.
Coconut Extract– Just a little goes a long way. A good quality baking extract is a beautiful thing and just adds that little extra flavour you cant get from toasted coconut alone.
Tasted Coconut – The star of the recipe. Adds so much toasty flavour and help balance the texture of the finished cake.
Heavy cream- Really important, this what helps get the cake its creamy but firm texture. Without it the cream cheese would simply firm up too much in the fridge.
The crust is just as important as the filling!
Many recipes will use a gram cracker crump for the base of their cheesecakes; but we wanted to try to add as much coconut flavour to this cake as possible. We used a coconut flavour cookie, gives it the same great texture, just with some added flavour!
