I wrote out this recipe AGES ago - don't remember where I found it - but finally tried it this week. Oh. my. goodness. I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT!!! Simple and irrisistible! Tastes good the first day, but definitely better a day later; my recommendation would be to make it a day in advance if it's for a special occasion. Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine |
1/2 cup coconut |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese |
3 semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, melted (i used 3/4 c. chips instead) |
2 eggs |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2/3 cup sugar |
2/3 cup light cream (i used half-and-half) |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. For base: Combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
2. Stir in coconut.
3. Press mixture firmly into 8x8 square cake pan.
4. For filling: cream together cream cheese, melted chocolate, eggs, flour and sugar until smooth and light.
5. Gradually add cream, vanilla, and cinammon, mixing until smooth.
6. Pour over base and bake 350F for 25-35 min, or until filling is set.
7. Cool and refrigerate. Drizzle with more melted semi-sweet chocolate, if desired (approximately 2 squares or 1/3-1/2 cup chips).
8. Cut into bars or squares and serve!
