Making Samoa Cheesecake is easier than it seems. Follow these steps for a delightful dessert:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring it’s compact and even.
3. Bake Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes until it’s lightly golden. Remove and set aside to cool.
4. Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla until fully combined.
5. Add Eggs: Add each egg one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in Coconut: Gently fold in the toasted shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the filling.
7. Pour Filling: Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake Cheesecake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for about an hour to help prevent cracking.
9. Remove and Cool: After an hour, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack to room temperature.
10. Chill: Once cooled, cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
11. Add Toppings: Before serving, drizzle the caramel sauce over the cheesecake and then top with melted chocolate. Garnish with additional toasted coconut for a beautiful finish.

Following these simple steps will lead to a beautiful and delectable Samoa Cheesecake that is sure to delight your guests.
