This recipe for a Coconut Macadamia Cheesecake has stayed at the back of my mind ever since I saw it in one of the books my mum has. I knew then that I just HAD to try this out someday. Well since I probably will get no better time to meddle around the kitchen than now, I decided to make it yesterday!
I had lots of help from my sister who's done countless cheesecakes before so thankfully the whole process was quite smooth sailing. It was my first attempt at a cheesecake I think, and although the recipe was quite simple...well, making it was another thing altogether.
As the name suggests, this is a pretty hefty cake calorie wise but everything about it is absolutely wonderful...from the nutty aroma to the rich golden brown colour to the thick creamy centre...ooohhh! But with this cake, good things definitely come in small packages and anything more than a small slice is likely to give you a coronary!

The sheer amount of macadamia nuts in the filling meant that the cake retained a gooey middle even after spending the whole night chillin' in the fridge. That would be something to keep in mind - IF I ever make this terribly sinful cake again though!
Time to hang up my oven mitts for now...sigh!
