Recipe - Chocolate Coconut Cheesecake

1 cup Crumbs (I like the chocolate
wafers with this)
3 tablespoon Sugar
3 tablespoon Butter, melted
2 Squares unsweetened baking
chocolate (these are
1ounce squares)
2 tablespoon Butter
2 pack (8ounce) cream cheese,
softened
1 One fourth cup Sugar
One fourth teaspoon Salt
5 Eggs
1 1/3 cup Coconut flakes (about 3 1/2
ounces)
1 cup Sour cream
2 tablespoon Sugar
2 tablespoon Brandy

Mix crumbs, sugar, and butter together. Press onto bottom of 9inch
springform pan. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes.

Melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Cool. Beat
cream cheese, sugar and salt at medium until well blended. Add eggs, one
at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in chocolate mixture and
coconut. Pour over crust. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes.

Reduce oven to 300F.

Mix sour cream, sugar, and brandy together. Carefully spread over
cheesecake. Bake 10 minutes. Loosen cake from rim of pan. Completely
cool before removing rim. Refrigerate.

I garnish this with toasted coconut flakes.
