How To Make almond joy cheesecake
-
1CRUST: Finely grind cracker crumbs, coconut, almonds and sugar in food processor. Add butter; process until moist crumbs form. Press mixture onto bottom and 1 inch up sides of pan. Bake at 350 degrees until set and beginning to brown, about 12 minutes. Cool. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
-
2FILLING: Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until just blended after each addition. Mix in coconut extract and coconut. Fold in almonds. Transfer filling to crust. Bake about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until cake is puffed. Cool completely on rack.
-
3GLAZE: Combine 1 cup chocolate chips, cream and vanilla in small saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until smooth. Cool until glaze begins to thicken, but can still be poured, about 30 minutes. Pour glaze over cooled cake; spread evenly. Chill cake overnight.
