This Simple German Chocolate Cheesecake is a decadent dessert that is easy to make and guaranteed to impress. It is a twist on the classic cheesecake recipe, with the addition of sweet baking chocolate and a crunchy almond coconut crust. This dessert is perfect for special occasions, such as birthdays, holidays, or dinner parties, and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. It can be served on its own, or topped with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of caramel sauce to enhance the flavor.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9 inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper, and greasing the sides with cooking spray.
2.	In a food processor, pulse the almonds and coconut until finely ground.
3.	Add the sugar and melted butter to the food processor and pulse until well combined.
4.	Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan and put it in the oven for 15 minutes.
5.	In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the sugar and mix until well combined.
6.	Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7.	Stir in the melted chocolate and mix until well combined.
8.	Pour the cheesecake mixture over the baked crust and put it back in the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set.
9.	Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature before serving.
