How Do I Make Samoa Cheesecake?

Here’s the simple steps you’ll follow to make this Cheesecake (scroll down for the full recipe):

 

Cheesecake:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a spring form pan by spraying the bottom of the pan with non-stick cooking spray. Then using a heavy duty foil, wrap the bottom and sides of the pan 2 times to keep the water out.
• Place the Oreo’s into a bowl or a food processor, and crush the cookies.
• Then add in the melted butter, and stir the 2 until they are mixed together. Place the crust in the bottom and slightly up the sides of the spring form pan.
• Place the cream cheese in a bowl and then mix it for about 2 – 3 minutes. Add the sugars and mix for an additional minute. Then add the yogurt and the vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, and mix them until blended.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture into the spring form pan, on top of the crust.
• Use a baking pan large enough for the spring form pan to fit into and fill it about 1/2 full. Place it on a rack that is just below the middle of the oven. Carefully place the spring form pan into the water and bake for about 90 minutes.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven, and remove the foil. Then use a knife and go along the outside of the cheesecake so that it won’t stick. Allow the cheesecake to sit for about 30 minutes, then remove the outer ring of the pan. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for 3 – 4 hours and allow it to cool.

 

Topping:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a piece of aluminum foil onto a small baking sheet. Then place the coconut onto the baking sheet and bake the coconut for 6 minutes, or until the coconut starts to turn a golden brown. Be careful not to over cook it.
• Remove the coconut from the pan and place it into a mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of the caramel sauce and mix it with the toasted coconut. If it is too thick, you can warm your caramel up for a few seconds in the microwave.
• Next place the coconut onto the cheesecake and slightly press it into the cheesecake. Drizzle the rest of the caramel over the coconut.
• Melt your chocolate in 20 second intervals in the microwave. Place the melted chocolate into a small baggie and snip the corner off with a pair of scissors. Drizzle the chocolate over the cheesecake.
