Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 200g crushed digestive biscuits with 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter. Press mixture evenly into a 9-inch springform pan to form the base. Chill in fridge for 15 minutes.
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat 16 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup sweetened condensed milk and 2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Fold 1 cup whipped heavy cream gently into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Step 4: Pour half the cheesecake mixture over the chilled base and smooth the surface. Drizzle half of 1/2 cup melted chocolate chips evenly over the layer, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup desiccated coconut mixed with 1 tbsp cocoa powder.
Step 5: Repeat layering with remaining cheesecake mixture, melted chocolate, and coconut-cocoa mix. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Step 6: Before serving, garnish with extra desiccated coconut on top for a classic lamington texture and flavor.
