Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- 2 Combine coconut, gingersnap cookies, and melted butter in a bowl; mix until evenly moistened. Press cookie mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan.
- 3 Bake crust in the preheated oven until browned and set, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- 4 Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- 5 Beat softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. With the beater set to medium-low, slowly pour condensed milk into the bowl, mixing only until just blended and stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- 6 Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- 7 Pour about 1/2 of the cream cheese batter into a separate bowl. Stir lime zest and lime juice into portion in the new bowl; pour batter over crust in the springform pan, smoothing into an even layer.
- 8 Stir coconut extract through remaining cream cheese batter; pour over lime-flavored batter in the springform pan, smoothing into an even layer.
- 9 Bake in the preheated oven until top of cheesecake springs back when gently pressed, about 45 minutes.
- 10 Turn oven heat off, but leave cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly ajar until the oven cools completely. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- 11 Prepare mango coulis by puréeing mango with sugar in a blender until smooth. If too thick, add 1 teaspoon water at a time, using just enough to make it pourable. Drizzle over cheesecake when plated.
