Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- For the filling:
- 16 oz of cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of black sesame paste
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- For the coconut whipped cream topping:
- 1 can of full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
- 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat 16 oz of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar until smooth. Add 1/4 cup of black sesame paste and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
- Bake the cheesecake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- To make the coconut whipped cream topping, carefully open the chilled can of coconut milk and scoop out the solid coconut cream into a mixing bowl, leaving the liquid behind. Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Spread the coconut whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake before serving. Enjoy!
