Start by crushing your Samoa cookies into fine crumbs. Combine these with melted butter and press the mixture into the base of a greased springform pan. Make sure it’s firm and even before setting it aside.

Beat the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add shredded coconut and crushed Samoa cookies for added flavor and texture. Pour this luscious filling onto the prepared crust.

Preheat the oven and bake your cheesecake until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly. This ensures a creamy and dreamy texture.

Once the cheesecake has cooled, drizzle generous amounts of caramel sauce across the top. This step is where the magic starts to happen!

Melt your chocolate ganache and drizzle it artfully over the cheesecake. Finish by adding whole Samoa cookies on top for a show-stopping presentation.

Refrigerate your Samoa cheesecake for several hours, or overnight, to set the flavors. Slice and serve for a dessert that’s as delightful to eat as it is to look at.
