Preparation

Step 1

Grease a 9-inch spring form, set aside. Preheat the oven to 325.

For crust: Crush the graham crackers in the food processor or use the crumbs. Mix in the sugar, melted butter and vanilla. Stir very well. Press graham crackers into the pan, evenly, all over the bottom and about half way up the side.

Cheesecake:

Start beating the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Add the vanilla extract, sour cream, and International Delight Almond Joy Creamer.

Add the eggs, one at the time, beating after each addition.

Add sugar and corn starch. Make sure that all ingredients are well combined.

Pour the cheesecake batter into the pan with crust. Bake for 45 minutes.

Mix coconut flakes with sweet condensed milk. Spread the coconut over the cheesecake. Spread the almonds over the coconut. Bake fore another 10-13 minutes.

Let the cheesecake cool for about 20 minutes. Using a butter knife, separate the cheesecake from the sides if necessary. Carefully undo the spring form and take off the side. Cool completely before serving and drizzling with chocolate syrup.
