Directions: |
Directions:Finely crush Oreos and mix with melted butter. Press into bottom of a 9-Inch Round Springform Pan.
In a medium bowl combine egg whites, coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Press this macaroon mixture gently over the top of the crust (if you are too vigorous in spreading this it will pull up your Oreo crust).
In a large bowl, cream together cream cheese and sugar.
Add eggs one at a time, beating with mixer between each egg.
Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth.
Pour over coconut layer.
Set springform pan on a cookie sheet and allow batter to settle at room temperature for 30 minutes (this will help prevent cracks). Preheat your oven to 325 degrees at this time.
Bake cheesecake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. At one hour, turn oven off, crack open the oven door and allow cheesecake to sit in oven for another 30 minutes.
Remove cheesecake from oven and cool at room temp for 30 minutes.
Carefully run a sharp knife around the edge of the springform pan to loosen the edges (I found that this cheesecake tended to stick on the edges just a little because of all that gooey coconut- you might want to try a little parchment paper on the sides and bottom to make it easier.)
Remove edges of pan and allow cheesecake to set until it is room temperature.
Refrigerate overnight before serving.
Serve with some whipped cream or sprinkle with coconut….yum! |
