I created this mouthwatering cheesecake by combining a few different dessert ideas. Chocolate pairs well with the tropical flavors of lime and coconut.—Jessie Covey, Pikeville, Tennessee

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • FILLING:
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened

  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hot brewed coffee
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

  • In a bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, coconut and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom and 1 in. up the sides of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 7-9 minutes. Place pan on a wire rack. Reduce heat to 325°.
  • For filling, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the lime juice, flour, peel, vanilla and food coloring if desired.
  • Add egg yolks; beat on low speed just until combined. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into filling. Pour into crust. Return pan to baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen. Cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.

Cook and stir over low heat until mixture is thickened and reaches at least 160° and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat. Whisk in chocolate mixture and vanilla. Cool completely.
  • Beat whipping cream until soft peaks form; fold into topping. Spread over cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set. Yield: 12 servings.
