German Chocolate Cheesecake
Omit liqueur. Prepare and bake cheesecake as directed, using 2 pkg. (4 oz. each) BAKER'S GERMAN'S Sweet Chocolate. Cool and refrigerate as directed. Place 1/3 cup evaporated milk, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter or margarine, 1 beaten egg and 1/2 tsp. vanilla in small heavy saucepan; cook on low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in 1/2 cup BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut and 1/2 cup chopped PLANTERS Pecans. Cool. Spread over cooled cheesecake, then refrigerate as directed.
Note
If baking cheesecake in a dark nonstick springform pan, reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
