- 90 minutes to make
- Serves 12
Going on vacation soon and we were invited to a Hawaiin party. Recipe adapted from Chowhound site. I decorated top with edible nasturtiums. After making plenty of cheesecake for over 30 years, I know this is going to be luscious with combos of coconut and chocolate. Read more As an after thought I would have decorated top with either toasted almonds or macadamia nuts! See less
