Samoasheetcake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 12-well mini fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
• Combine cake mix, eggs, water, butter, sour cream, sugar, pudding mix, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Blend together using an electric mixer on medium speed, about 3 minutes. Fill each well 2/3-full of batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cakes spring back when touched, 14 to 17 minutes.
• Pour caramel sauce into a small microwave-safe bowl. Warm in the microwave until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Dip the top of each cake in the sauce and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
• Place hot fudge sauce in another microwave-safe bowl and warm until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle over the cakes.

Steps:

• For the crust: Put 20 cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush into fine crumbs (a few larger crumbs are fine) with a rolling pin. Add the coconut oil to the bag, seal and use your hands to mix the oil into the cookies. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to make a crust. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
• For the cheesecake: Sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons water in a small microwave-safe bowl and set aside to soften, about 5 minutes. Microwave the dissolved gelatin, stirring every 10 seconds, until melted.
• Combine the cream cheese, buttermilk, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and melted gelatin in the food processor and process until smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Rub a little of the mixture between your fingers, if it is still gritty then continue to process.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture into the crust and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Wrap the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the cheesecake layer is set, about 2 hours.
• For the topping: Put the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. When you are ready to assemble the pie, microwave the dulce de leche in a second small microwave-safe bowl until it is loose enough to drizzle, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Microwave the heavy cream in a third small microwave-safe bowl until hot but not boiling, about 30 seconds. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and allow to sit for 1 minute. Stir until completely smooth. The sauce will thicken as it cools slightly. Use a serrated knife to cut the remaining cookies in half cross-wise. Drizzle the chocolate sauce and caramel sauce on the cheesecake. Decorate with the cookies halves.

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir coconut until fragrant and toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Place 1 cookie into the bottom of each muffin cup.
• Beat cream cheese in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat sugar, coconut extract, vanilla extract, amaretto liqueur, and almond extract into cream cheese until smooth. Pour eggs into cream cheese mixture, a little at a time, and beat, scraping sides after each addition, until smooth. Beat sour cream and salt into cream cheese mixture; pour into the prepared muffin cups, filling almost to the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 11 minutes; rotate pan and continue cooking until cheesecake is set, 11 to 14 minutes more. Cool cheesecake in pan for 15 minutes on a wire rack. Transfer cheesecakes to a plate and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours.
• Top each cheesecake with whipped cream and toasted coconut.

Steps:

• To make the brown butter:.
• Cut ¼ cup of butter into pieces. Heat butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir the butter or swirl the pan so the butter does not get burnt. Remove from heat when butter turns light brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch and salt together.
• Cream the remaining ¼ cup butter(at room temp) until smooth and add the sugar, beating for about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract and the brown butter. Gently stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated. Take cookie base and press down into a 10 inch spring form pan that has already been buttered/floured and lined with parchment paper.
• Bake at 350F for 10 minutes. Set out to cool.
• For the Cheesecake:.
• Cream the cheese until soft. Add in the sugar and mix well. Decrease the mixer speed to low and add the flour.
• Add eggs in one at a time scraping bowl down to make sure that there are no lumps.
• Stir in the vanilla. The coconuts can be added now; it just get stirred inches.
• Pour batter into the pan. Bake in a water bath at 350F for approx 1 ½ -2 hours. Let cake sit at room temperature until cool, then chill overnight.
• For the Caramel:.
• Pour the sugar into the center of a deep saucepan. Carefully pour 1/3 cup water around the walls of the pan, trying not to splash any of the sugar onto the walls. Do not stir; gently draw your finger twice through the center of the sugar, making a cross, to moisten it. Over high heat, bring to a full boil and cook without stirring, swirling the pan occasionally to even out the color, until the mixture is medium caramel in color, 5 to 10 minutes. Immediately turn off the heat and use a wooden spoon to slowly and carefully stir in the cream(it will bubble up and may splatter).
• Allow caramel to cool for a few minutes then stir in 12 ounces of sweetened coconut(you can add more if you would like). Stick in the fridge for 5-10 minutes.
• For the Chocolate:.
• Melt in a metal bowl over simmering water. Once cooled put into a pastry bag.
• To Assemble:.
• Once the cheesecake has chilled overnight. Place some of the topping on the cheesecake and spread it around to cover the top. It may be a little runny that is okay. Pipe chocolate stripes onto the cheesecake, as many as you would like and chill for another hour.

Steps:

• CHEESECAKE: Preheat oven to 325°F, and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Carefully wrap the outside of the pan in 2 layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil, being sure that there are NO gaps where water could seep through. Add Oreo cookies to the bowl of a food processor, and process until completely crumbled. (Or you can do this step by hand by crushing Oreos with a meat mallet inside a ziplock freezer bag.) Add in the melted butter, and stir or process until evenly mixed with the Oreos. Press the Oreo mixture evenly into the bottom of the springform pan. Then place the pan in a large roasting dish (or any pan larger than the springform), and bring a tea kettle or pot of water to boil in preparation for the water bath. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese on medium speed for 3 minutes until smooth. Add sugar and beat for an additional minute until well blended. Add Greek yogurt and vanilla, and beat for an additional minute, stopping partway to scrape the bottom of the bowl with a spatula. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until blended. Do not over-beat! Pour into crust. Place the double pans in the oven on a shelf on the bottom third of the oven. Very carefully use a tea kettle (or large measuring cup) to pour the boiling water in the larger pan to form a water bath around the springform, so that it comes up about 1-inch around the springform. Close the oven door, and bake about 1 hour 30 min, or until center is almost set. (The cake should still jiggle ever so slightly.) Turn oven off, and open oven door slightly. Let cheesecake set in oven 1 hour. Then remove cheesecake from oven, carefully run a knife around the edges of the cake, and then let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove springform rim, and top cheesecake with Samoa topping. Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes for the topping to set. Then serve, or cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days. TOPPING: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread shredded coconut out in an even layer on a parchment-covered (or aluminum foil-covered) baking sheet. Bake for about 6 minutes, or until the top layer of coconut is toasted and lightly golden, then remove the tray and stir the coconut. Bake for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the new layer of coconut is lightly golden. (Keep a close eye on it so that the coconut does not burn.) Remove the pan, and pour coconut into a mixing bowl. Add 1 cup caramel sauce to the bowl with the coconut, and stir to combine. (If your caramel is not very pour-able, heat it in the microwave or in a small saucepan until it is just slightly warmed.) Using a spoon, spread a separate 1/2 cup of caramel sauce onto the chilled cheesecake. Then top with the caramel/coconut mixture, and press it down until the top of the cheesecake is covered. Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag or a Ziplock bag with the corner snipped off, then pipe it onto the top of the coconut/caramel mixture in even lines. Repeat in a separate bag with the remaining caramel sauce.
