German Chocolate Brownies topped with a layer of cheesecake will be a big hit with coconut/chocolate lovers. Very easy to make!

The brownie layer is made with a box of German Chocolate cake mix with a few pecans and some shredded coconut added in for more german chocolate goodness. With only 4 ingredients in the cheesecake layer, this delicious dessert is simple to make but looks super impressive once dressed up with some whipped cream, grated chocolate, and toasted coconut.

 
I love the combination of chocolate on the bottom and cheesecake on top. As a child I hated coconut, but I have really became a fan of it in the last few years. I’ve always liked the flavor, and I’ve loved coconut milk (the thick, creamy kind) for many years. But I had always struggled with the texture of shredded coconut. Somehow, I made myself get used to it. I was missing out on too many good desserts otherwise! If you’re a German Chocolate lover, check out these German Chocolate Bars. They are gooey, with lots of caramel flavor and a buttery shortbread crust.
German Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies Recipe Tips:

Be sure to let the cream cheese sit out for a good while to soften or it will be lumpy when you beat it.
To toast the coconut, put the desired amount in a nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until browned.
Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
