Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a bowl, combine chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs, melted butter, and salt; mix until sandy.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Add eggs one at a time, blending after each addition. Mix in sour cream and heavy cream until smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan.
- Place the pan in a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with boiling water to create a water bath.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and water bath, allow cooling to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Top the chilled cheesecake with shredded coconut and drizzle with caramel sauce. Serve with additional sauces and whipped topping if desired.
Notes
Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating to avoid cracks. Use high-quality caramel sauce for the best flavor.
