In 2005 I was given this recipe and my family loved it. We moved house in 2008 and I lost the recipe for a number of years until we moved again (2017) and I found it. I am posting here for good keeping (and reminding you to well mark moving boxes). A rich chocolate cheesecake with a crunchy chocolate base and sweet buttery topping filled with nuts and coconut. A thin slither is more than ample due to the richness. Perfect for entertaining as this cheesecake is best made the a few hours or even the day prior.
