Ingredients

1 cup Coconut macaroon cookie crumbs

1 cup Butter cookie crumbs

cup Melted butter

3 pounds Cream cheese, softened

1 cup Sugar

6 Eggs

1 cup Coco Lopez milk

cup Flour

teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Vanilla

cup Fresh shredded coconut - (available in the freezer section)

2 cups Lemon Curd Anglaise Sauce see * Note

Whipped cream

Fresh mint sprigs

Preparation

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 loosen 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 Sauce, whipped cream and fresh mint sprigs.
