Big Bowl Cafe Coconut Mango Cheesecake image

I haven't gotten around to making this yet, but it sounds so good I thought I'd share it (I love out-of-the-ordinary cheesecakes!). The baking instructions do not mention a waterbath, but I usually bake my cheesecakes with one, so I suppose it can be baked by whatever method the individual chef has best luck with. Not sure where on the web I found this, but I know that it's initially from The Big Bowl Cafe in Chicago.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, toasted
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temp
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 (15 ounce) can cream of coconut (the sweet stuff,such as Coco Lopez, NOT coconut milk)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2 large mangoes, pitted, peeled, and sliced
sugar (optional, for mango puree) or other artificial sweetener, to taste (optional, for mango puree)

Steps:

  • CRUST:.
  • Wrap the outside of a 9" springform pan (2 3/4" high sides) with foil. If desired, lightly spray pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, toasted coconut and sugar. Add melted butter and stir until well-blended. Press mixture into bottom and up sides of prepared pan. Chill while you make the filling.
  • FILLING:.
  • Preheat oven to 325ºF.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar with a mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in egg yolk. Add cream of coconut, heavy cream and shredded coconut. Beat just until blended. Pour filling into chilled crust.Bake cheesecake at 325ºF about 1 hour and 25 minutes, or until puffed and golden (Center should still be a tiny bit wiggly).
  • Transfer baked cheesecake to a wire rack to cool completely. Cover cooled cheesecake and chill overnight.
  • Before serving, puree 1/4 of the mango slices until smooth. Transfer puree to a small bowl, and sweeten to taste if desired. Loosen edges of cheesecake from springform ring with a small thin knife. Remove pan sides, and arrange mango slices decoratively over the top of the cheesecake. Serve each slice with a small puddle of the pureed mango, or drizzle the puree over the top of each slice.
