CHOCOLATE-GLAZED COCONUT ALMOND CHEESECAKE
My idea was to make a cheesecake taste like my favorite candy bar, which has chocolate, coconut and almonds. This cheesecake also works in bite size. Use a mini muffin pan with muffin liners, fill 3/4 full and bake 15-17 minutes. Allow to sit and cool completely before topping with chocolate, coconut and almonds. -Keri Brammer, Lawton, Oklahoma

COCONUT-ALMOND CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEESECAKE
I make this often for church dinners and there's never a crumb left. I top it with whipped cream cheese topping, sliced almonds and drizzle it with a thin chocolate ganache.

Steps:
- Special equipment: a 9-inch springform pan
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the crust: Add the chocolate graham crackers and the almonds to a food processor. Process until finely chopped. Add the butter and salt and process to the consistency of wet sand. Press the crust into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and almonds. Using your fingers, work in the butter until the mixture has the texture of a crumble topping. Set aside.
- For the filling: Place the cream cheese, sugar and yogurt in a large bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula. Add the eggs, almond extract, vanilla extract and salt; beat another minute on medium. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the chocolate until combined. Pour the filling over the crust and sprinkle evenly with the crumble topping.
- Bake until the center of the cake is just set, 45 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely chilled.
- Serve cold, with a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
