A Request Delivered!

For my gorgeous friend Erinn at Fancy Napkin, the recipe for the coconut cheesecake I made for Seestor on her birthday.

Coconut Cheesecake

1-1/4 c.                         oreo cookie crumbs

1 c.                               shredded coconut

1/4 c.                            butter, melted

3 pkg. (250 g each)         philadelphia brick cream cheese, softened

3/4 c.                            sugar

1 tsp.                            vanilla

1 tsp.                            coconut extract

3                                  eggs

- heat oven to 350F

- mix crumbs, coconut, and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. *I don't have one, so I used a 9-inch cake pan and lined it with parchment paper.

- beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and coconut extract with mixer until well blended.

- add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended.

- pour over crust.

- bake for 40 - 50 minutes or until centre is almost set.

- run knife around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim and refrigerate for four hours.

Enjoy!
