  11. 3 cupsfresh raspberries
  12. 1large bar dark chocolate
  13. 1/4 cupfruit juice (any)
  14. 1/2 pkgunflavored gelatin

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with a large piece of foil and place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Put the graham crackers into a food processor and pulse until fine. Add the butter and process until the crumbs are moistened. Press the crumbs into the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake until the crust is slightly dry in appearance and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Cool completely.

  3. 3

    Cut two thin strips from the lime and form into tight curls, zest the remainder, set both aside.

  4. 4

    Combine the yogurt, cream cheese, eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, coconut extract, lime zest and salt in a food processor and process until well blended and smooth. Pour over the prepared crust and bake until the center is just set, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.

  5. 5

    Put 2 cups of the raspberries and the juice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Break half the dark chocolate bar into small pieces and add slowly to the mixture, stirring constantly until melted. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the gelatin over 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Stir the dissolved gelatin into the hot raspberry-chocolate mixture until combined. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, cover and chill until thickened, about 3 hours.

  7. 7

    After chilling the cheesecake, remove the springform ring. Slice and serve, topped with the raspberry-chocolate sauce. If the sauce is too thick, rewarm it in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time before spooning over the cheesecake.

  8. 8

    Decorate with remaining chocolate, remaining raspberries and lime curls.
