Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Butter parchment.
- Stir together graham cracker crumbs and 2 cups coconut.
- Place chocolates and 3 tablespoons sugar in a heatproof bowl, and set over a pan of simmering water. Heat, stirring, until melted. Add butter, and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly. Whisk in 1 egg.
- Stir chocolate mixture into coconut mixture. Press evenly into prepared pan. Bake until set, 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool in pan.
- Using a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat cream cheese and remaining cup sugar on high speed until very smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium, and add egg yolks and remaining 2 eggs, 1 at a time, until well combined. Scrape sides of bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until completely smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Pass mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, and stir until smooth. Pour over cooled crust. Sprinkle remaining cup coconut evenly over the top.
- Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until top layer is just set and coconut is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate, loosely covered, overnight.
- Run a sharp knife around edges of pan, and use parchment to lift out cheesecake. Run a knife under hot water, and dry well. Use it to cut cheesecake into 1-inch squares, wiping knife clean between cuts.

- 7. Put in a pre-heated oven at 350 and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a rack, then chill. I used the square pan...for squares. This cake has no bottom crust, and needs no frosting. Just cut and enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Remove from oven, cool completely and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Cut into 24 squares and serve!
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is a good choice.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start baking. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can make the cheesecake dense and dry.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly.
