Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  3. Pour the mixture into a springform pan and press firmly into an even layer. Bake it for about 10 minutes, then remove it and let it cool.
Make the Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add in the sugar and continue beating until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Finally, add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  5. Gently fold in the toasted coconut into the cream cheese mixture.
Bake
  1. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  2. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  3. Let it cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for an hour to prevent cracking.
Chill and Serve
  1. Once cool, transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
  2. Right before serving, drizzle generously with caramel and chocolate sauce.
  3. Slice, serve, and watch it disappear with smiles all around!
