Chocolate Coconut Cheesecake Bars image

I wrote out this recipe AGES ago -- don't remember where I found it -- but finally tried it this week. Oh. my. goodness. I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT!!! Simple and irrisistible! Tastes good the first day, but definitely better a day later; my recommendation would be to make it a day in advance if it's for a special occasion.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup coconut
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
3 semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, melted (I used 3/4 c. chips instead)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup light cream (I used half-and-half)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • For base: Combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
  • Stir in coconut.
  • Press mixture firmly into 8x8" square cake pan.
  • For filling: cream together cream cheese, melted chocolate, eggs, flour and sugar until smooth and light.
  • Gradually add cream, vanilla, and cinammon, mixing until smooth.
  • Pour over base and bake @ 350F for 25-35 min, or until filling is set.
  • Cool and refrigerate. Drizzle with more melted semi-sweet chocolate, if desired (approximately 2 squares or 1/3-1/2 cup chips).
  • Cut into bars or squares and serve!
