Preparation
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter, then press into the bottom of a springform pan. Freeze for 30 minutes to set.

- In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter with evaporated milk and sugar. Stir and whisk in egg yolks. Cook until thickened, then mix in vanilla, coconut, and pecans. Cool completely.
- Blend cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
- Pour cheesecake filling over crust and bake at 325°F for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The center should have a slight jiggle.
- Let cheesecake cool in the oven with the door cracked after baking. Chill in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours.
- Spread the cooled topping mixture over the cheesecake and chill again for an hour.
- For the ganache, heat cream, pour over chocolate, and mix until smooth. Pipe ganache over the topping before serving.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing for a smooth texture. Consider using a water bath to prevent cracks during baking. Allow the cheesecake to chill thoroughly for optimal flavor and texture.
