Drizzle Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with heavy cream in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the coconut topping to create a Samoa-inspired pattern.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Variations & Tips
For a unique twist on this Samoa Cheesecake, try experimenting with different crusts, such as crushed Oreo cookies or even Samoa Girl Scout cookies themselves for extra flavor depth. For added texture, consider adding a layer of chocolate ganache between the crust and cheesecake filling, or swirl some caramel directly into the filling for an extra touch of gooey richness. You can also mix chocolate chips or small caramel bits into the cheesecake batter for surprise bursts of flavor in each bite. If you’re a coconut lover, increase the coconut extract in the filling for a stronger tropical flavor. For a fun, mini version, bake the cheesecake batter in a muffin tin lined with cupcake wrappers, creating individual servings with the same layered Samoa toppings—perfect for parties!
