I tried whipping up a delightful German Chocolate Cheesecake today! 🇩🇪🍫🍰 The aroma of chocolate and coconut filled my kitchen, making the baking experience truly wonderful.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs 🍪
- 1/2 cup melted butter 🧈
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
- 3/4 cup sugar 🍚
- 3 eggs 🥚
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
- 1 cup shredded coconut 🥥
- 1 cup chopped pecans 🌰
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips 🍫
- Whipped cream and additional pecans for garnish 🍥
Preparation Steps:
1. I started by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mixed the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter, then pressed them onto the bottom of a springform pan to create the crust. 🍫🥄
2. In a large bowl, I combined cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Added eggs one at a time, mixed in vanilla extract, then folded in shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips. 🥚🥥
3. Poured the creamy mixture over the crust evenly. 🥮
4. Baked for 40-45 minutes. After letting it cool, I refrigerated it for at least 3 hours. 🕒
5. Before serving, I topped it with fluffy whipped cream and sprinkled extra pecans for a delightful crunch. 🎉
