Cheesecake

Crust:
- 3/4 cups oats, 3/4 cuts finely chopped pecans
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2/3 cup coconut flakes (lightly toasted. These are optional. If you use them, save out 1/6 to 1/4 cup of the flakes to sprinkle on the top of the cheesecake.)
- 6 tablespoons butter (melting/melted)
Combine thoroughly. bake on bottom of springform pan at 350F to 450F for 12 minutes. (I start the oven warming and put the pan in as it reaches around 350F on its way to the 450F required for the cheesecake)

Cheesecake:

Microwave two pounds of cream cheese to 90F. (warm room temperature)
1 cupssugar
3 tablespoons flour
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup cream of coconut

It is important to realize that this cheesecake does not taste of coconut. However, it has an extremely smooth texture. The texture is what makes this cheesecake special.

Warm (or microwave) cream cheese to 90F. Beat the cream cheese at medium to high speed for three minutes in mixer. Blend in sugar and flour. Blend in eggs one at a time, then blend in vanilla. Add sour cream and cream of coconut and beat in mixer until a uniform fluff -- about two to three minutes.
Bake at 450F for ten minutes and then 250F for one hour. Garnish with coconut if desired (the held out coconut above).
Let cool and cure for eight hours. Then chill.
