Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter melted
  • 24 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces German chocolate melted and cooled
  • 0.5 cups evaporated milk
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 0.5 cups chopped pecans

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Medium saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Mix chocolate wafer crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles dark, wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool on a rack.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until combined. Mix in vanilla and melted German chocolate.
  5. Pour cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
  6. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  7. For the topping, combine evaporated milk, sugar, butter, and egg yolk in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  8. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, coconut, and pecans. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  9. Spread the warm coconut pecan topping over the cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Once set, run a thin knife around the edge of the pan, unclip the springform, and slice the cheesecake for serving.
