Lime Coconut Cheesecake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
• Combine the coconut, gingersnap cookies, and melted butter in a bowl; mix until evenly moistened. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan.
• Bake the crust in the preheated oven until browned and set, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Beat the softened cream cheese in mixer bowl until smooth. With beater set to medium-low, slowly pour the condensed milk into the bowl, mixing only until just blended, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the eggs, individually, allowing the first to blend into the mixture before adding the second; again, scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Pour about half of the cream cheese batter into a separate bowl. Stir the lime juice and lime zest into the portion in the new bowl; pour the batter over the crust in the springform pan, smoothing into an even layer.
• Stir the coconut extract through the remaining cream cheese batter; pour over the lime-flavored batter in the springfom pan, smoothing into an even layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the cheesecake springs back when gently pressed, about 45 minutes. Turn oven heat off, but leave cheesecake inside with oven door slightly ajar until the oven cools completely. Refrigerate until completely chilled.
• Prepare mango coulis by pureeing the mango with sugar until smooth. If too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time, using just enough to make pourable. Drizzle over cheesecake when plated.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325ºF.
• Mix cookie crumbs, 1/2 cup coconut and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 to 12 min. or until lightly browned. Meanwhile, spread remaining coconut onto bottom of microwaveable pie plate. Microwave on HIGH 2 min. or until lightly toasted, stirring every 30 sec.
• Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add sour cream, lime zest and juice; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over crust.
• Bake 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until center is almost set. Run knife around rim of pan to loosen cake. Cool before removing rim. Refrigerate cheesecake 4 hours.
• Serve topped with COOL WHIP and toasted coconut.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Crust: Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Process until just blended. Press in bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of a 10 inch spring form pan.
• Filling: Place cream cheese in a large bowl and beat with a mixer at medium high speed until smooth. Reduce speed to low and add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well.
• Add remaining filling ingredients and beat well, scraping bottom and sides of the bowl occasionally. Scrape filling into crust.
• Bake 75 to 90 minutes, until center jiggles slightly when pan is tapped. Remove from oven and run a knife around inside of pan. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Garnish with whipped cream and lime wedges, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine coconut and nuts; stir in butter.
• Press into the bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown around the edges. Cool on a wire rack.
• In a saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand one minute.
• Stir in sugar; cook over low heat until sugar and gelatin are dissolved. Remove from the heat.
• In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in gelatin mixture.

Steps:

• Combine cookie or graham cracker crumbs with butter or margarine. Press into bottom and partially up sides of 9 inch springform pan. Refrigerate.
• In a large bowl, beat with an electric mixer the cream cheese, sugar, lime peel, and cornstarch until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, blending just until smooth. Add key lime juice with mixer on low. Finish mixing by hand. Do not over beat, or cake will crack during baking. Pour batter into prepared crust.
• Bake at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 55 to 65 minutes, or until set. To minimize cracking, place a shallow pan half full of hot water on lower rack during baking.
• Turn oven off, and let cheesecake stand in oven 30 minutes with the door open at least 4 inches. Remove from oven. Refrigerate cake overnight, and up to three days.
