Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 2.5 cups Oreo crumbs (from about 25 Oreos, leave filling in the Oreos)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 0.25 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 cup caramel sauce, divided
  • 1 cup vanilla wafer cookies, broken in half
  • 0.75 cup toasted sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar

Topping

  • 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 0.25 cup toasted sweetened coconut flakes
  • 3 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.25 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • Caramel sauce, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust

  • Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper on the bottom and grease the sides.
  • In a small bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared springform pan.
  • Place the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

  • In a large mixer bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the vanilla extract, coconut extract, and 1/2 cup of caramel sauce. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  • Gently fold in the broken vanilla wafer cookies and toasted coconut flakes into the cream cheese mixture.
  • In a separate large mixer bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions until just combined.
  • Spread about 1/3 of the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust. Drizzle with about 1/4 cup of the remaining caramel sauce and gently swirl with a knife, being careful not to go through the crust.
  • Repeat the layering with another 1/3 of the cheesecake filling and another 1/4 cup of caramel sauce, swirling again.
  • Add the remaining cheesecake filling and spread into an even layer. Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours, or until firm.

Finish and Serve

  • Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and place it on a serving platter. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and additional toasted coconut flakes.
  • To make the chocolate ganache, place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Heat the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream until it just begins to boil, then pour it over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
  • Drizzle the chocolate ganache and remaining caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftover cheesecake well-covered in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. For best results, use an airtight cake carrier.
