Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut macaroon cookie crumbs
- 1 cup butter cookie crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3 pounds cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup Coco Lopez milk
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups fresh shredded coconut (available in the freezer section)
- 2 cups Lemon Curd Anglaise sauce, recipe follows
- Whipped cream
- Fresh mint sprigs
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the cookie crumbs and the butter. Mix well and press into a 10-inch springform pan. In a food processor, with the metal blade, mix the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and blend. Add the eggs one at a time to thoroughly incorporate into the cheese mixture. Add the coconut milk. Add the flour, salt and vanilla and blend until smooth. Add the coconut and pulse until incorporated. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the cake is set. Remove from the oven and with a knife loosed the sides from the pan. This will prevent the cake from spiting down the center. Cool the cake completely before cutting. Slice the cheesecake into twelve slices and serve with the Lemon Curd Anglaise, whipped cream and fresh mint sprigs

I love cheesecake and i make it often. I made this one for my boyfriends birthday and we could not eat it. The recipe was too large and the texture and flavor was not good. I was very disappointed.

i make cheesecakes all the time and i have to say that this cheesecake is very good and easy. my cheesecakes are always thick not the thin that you normally see and they always come above the rim but when they cool they come down a bit and it gives me a nice flat layer to put fruit or a glaze...with cheesecake you need to be patient. thanks emeril i always like trying your recipes. as does my family

I don't like most cheesecakes or coconut. I've made this cheesecake the last 2yrs because my husband requested a coconut cheesecake for his birthday. It messes everything in the kitchen up and we have an agreement that it only gets made on his birthday. It does come out fairly ugly, but that's because I get impatient. I am looking up the ingredients today to make it this year even with a baby because he seems to be looking forward to it.
