Preparation Steps
- In a large saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in shredded coconut and toasted pecans. Pour into a heat-proof bowl and chill completely.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. In a small bowl, combine Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake crust for 8-10 minutes, then cool.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, and cocoa powder until smooth. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. Incorporate melted German chocolate, then eggs one at a time, mixing slowly after each addition. Pour batter over the crust.
- Drop spoonfuls of coconut pecan topping evenly over the batter. Gently add remaining batter. Cover the springform with foil and bake in a water bath for 1 hour 25 minutes. Turn off oven, crack door, and cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate until fully set.
- Remove cheesecake from springform, top with additional coconut pecan topping if desired, and drizzle with chocolate ganache. Serve chilled.
