Variation

Prepare using reduced-fat vanilla wafers, PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, and BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream.

How to Toast Coconut

Toasting coconut is easy. Just spread BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut evenly in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 7 to 10 min. or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Or, spread in microwaveable pie plate. Microwave on HIGH 3 min. or until lightly browned, stirring every minute. Watch carefully as coconut can easily burn!

Variation

Omit sour cream, 3 Tbsp. sugar (for topping) and coconut. Top cheesecakes with thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping and fresh strawberries just before serving.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ruthdefil from Tried it with orange zest - just as yummy. Tried it with orange zest - just as yummy. Used regular sized muffin tin, must be sure to watch cheesecakes, 13 minutes is all that is needed for bake time in my oven.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kelvehi from Very Good. Very Good. I don't like to add zest of anything to recipes so I left that out. I also added a 1/2 cup of coconut and 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the batter before baking.
