Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 16 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cups Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to pack it down firmly. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using a handheld or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the 3/4 cup granulated sugar and continue mixing until fully combined and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until just combined.
Gently fold in the shredded coconut and mini chocolate chips using a spatula.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the pre-baked crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles when the pan is gently shaken.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and slice into 12 squares or bars.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
