Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 1/4 cups mini dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup toasted coconut

Instructions
- Make the Ganache: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and 1/2 cup of cream together over low heat. Stir in 3/4 cup of chocolate chips until smooth. Let cool and stir in the remaining chocolate chips.
- Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.

- Chill & Serve: Cover and refrigerate for 3-5 hours or overnight before serving.
