Almond Joy cheesecake is a perfect dessert for anyone who loves coconut! This decadent cheesecake features coconut and almond Oreo crust, smooth and creamy coconut cheesecake filling, a layer of sweet coconut and almond topping, and finished with chocolate ganache.
If you’re a fan of Almond Joy and Bounty candy bars, you will absolutely love this cheesecake! This is a perfect dessert to make for anyone who loves that candy or simply loves coconut!
The flavors of coconut, almond, and chocolate are prominent throughout this cheesecake! Oreo cookies make a wonderful crust when you need a hint of chocolate but we also mix that with some sweetened coconut flakes and toasted almonds.
The filling is smooth, rich, and silky, much like it is in my other cheesecake recipes. This Almond Joy cheesecake features coconut cheesecake filling, of course, for an even more enhanced coconut flavor.
To take the textures and flavors over the top, there is a thick layer of a sweet coconut and almond mixture that closely resembles the Almond Joy candy bar filling. And of course, to coat this cheesecake in chocolate, I used a semi-sweet chocolate ganache over the top.
