Steps

6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
8. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for another 10 minutes with the door slightly ajar.
9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
10. Before serving, top with coconut flakes for garnish.
