Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup sour cream

8 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip)

For the German Chocolate Topping:

1 cup shredded coconut

1 cup chopped pecans

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon butter

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a medium bowl, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated.

      - Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Make sure to pack it tightly for a sturdy crust.

        - Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

          Make the Cheesecake Filling:

            - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

              - Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix well.

                - Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.

                  - Gently fold in the whipped topping until no streaks remain and the mixture is light and fluffy.

                    Assemble the Cheesecake:

                      - Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and spread evenly with a spatula.

                        - Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.

                          - Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

                            Prepare the German Chocolate Topping:

                              - In a saucepan over medium heat, combine shredded coconut, chopped pecans, sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and butter.

                                - Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is heated through and thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

                                  Top the Cheesecake:

                                    - Once the cheesecake has set, remove it from the refrigerator.

                                      - Pour the warm German chocolate topping over the chilled cheesecake, spreading it evenly.

                                        - Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to firm up the topping.

                                          Serve:

                                            - Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.

                                              - Slice into wedges and enjoy this creamy, rich, and irresistible no-bake German chocolate cheesecake!
