Comments
The recipe's developer says she tried a sauce variation that proved more popular than the traditional pecan/coconut combination above. She finely chopped 4 ounces of German chocolate and poured a scalded combination of 3/4 cup of cream and 1 tablespoon of butter over the chocolate. She whisked this until a smooth ganache formed. She then ladled this onto the plate, placed the cheesecake in the center, then sprinkled the whole thing with pecans.
