german chocolate cheesecake
This German chocolate cheesecake mimics the flavors of the famous cake and is delicious. It has a chewy brownie base with a chocolate chip and coconut cheesecake filling. Then, there’s a layer of silky chocolate ganache that’s topped off with a traditional German chocolate cake frosting. The mixture of textures and flavors makes this cheesecake very impressive when served to guests. To make it slightly fancier, we piped chocolate frosting around the edges.
