Ingredients
Scale
Main Cake Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup white chocolate (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cheesecake Center Ingredients:
- 16 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cubed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by coating an 8-inch springform pan with butter and lining the bottom with parchment paper. Set the oven temperature to 325F (160C) to create an ideal baking environment.
- Create a velvety cheesecake foundation by blending cream cheese and sugar until achieving a silky, uniform consistency. Gently incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, stirring minimally to maintain a delicate texture.
- Transfer the luxurious cheesecake mixture into the prepared pan, ensuring an even distribution. Position the pan in the preheated oven and allow the delicate custard to bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, watching for a subtle jiggle in the center that indicates perfect doneness.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and permit it to cool naturally within the pan, allowing the internal temperature to stabilize. Once reached room temperature, carefully place the pan in the refrigerator and let it chill thoroughly for a minimum of 2 hours, enabling the filling to set completely and develop a rich, creamy consistency.
Notes
- Prevent cheesecake cracking by using a water bath during baking, which helps distribute heat evenly and maintains moisture.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free texture that blends perfectly with other ingredients.
- Chill the cheesecake layer thoroughly to create a firm, stable base that won’t collapse when assembling the final cake.
- Customize the recipe by adding white chocolate chips to the cheesecake batter or incorporating almond extract for an enhanced flavor profile.
