If you are on the look out for a fabulous Easter dessert, your search is over, you just found it! I’m not sure why, but coconut desserts are so popular for Easter. I happen to love coconut, so this is totally ok with me! This Toasted Coconut Fudge Cheesecake would be the perfect finish to Easter dinner – or brunch! Who could resist?
I realized recently that I have a shortage of pies and cheesecakes on Bake for Seconds. I have no idea why, but I just don’t bake them all that often. We make things like these Double Decker Coconut Cream Brownies all the time, but pies? Not so much. Enter the idea for this cheesecake pie!
Let’s talk details, shall we?
Start with the crust. Oreos: both the cookies and the cream filling, and some butter. Done. Then there’s a layer of fudge because, why not? Next up is the creamy, coconut cheesecake. Nom nom. And because ganache is my favorite, I had to pour some over this decadent pie. Toasted coconut tops it all off…pass me a fork!
