Whether you’re a chocolate fanatic or someone who loves easy, no-bake desserts, this recipe will become your go-to treat for any occasion. Let’s dive into this mouthwatering creation that brings together the perfect combination of chocolate, coconut, and pecans!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 24 cookies)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Additional Oreo cookies, pecans, and chocolate sauce for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix Oreo cookie crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
  • Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until smooth and fluffy.
  • Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the chocolate cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  • Add the toppings: Before serving, top the cheesecake with unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Garnish with additional Oreo cookies and chocolate sauce.
  • Serve and enjoy: Slice, serve, and enjoy this indulgent treat!

Notes

  • For a perfectly smooth cheesecake filling, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. This will prevent lumps in the mixture.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for a rich and intense flavor. You can also experiment with dark chocolate for a less sweet version.
  • When folding the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture, be gentle to maintain the light and airy texture.
