German Chocolate Cheesecake
Sep 01, 2024 05:53 AM
This German Chocolate Cheesecake is totally out of this world! A smooth, creamy German chocolate filling is layered with a gooey, rich coconut pecan topping that’s also added on top. And it’s all set in a classic Oreo crust. It’s cheesecake heaven.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Great texture. The filling for this cheesecake is so thick and creamy. I used a combination of cream cheese and sour cream for the best, velvety-smooth texture.
Fun and different. This isn’t your average cheesecake. It’s a fun twist on German Chocolate Cake in cheesecake form. The combination of flavors and textures will wow those that are lucky enough to get a bite.
The best coconut pecan topping. Rich, sweet, gooey, and totally loaded with coconut flakes and crunchy, toasted pecans, the topping (and middle layer) for this cheesecake is a real winner. Careful not to eat it all with a spoon before it makes it to the cheesecake.
