- 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.
