Ingredients

Crust and Filling

  • 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup coconut
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brewed coffee
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ⅓ cup semi-sweet baking chips

Topping

  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup semi-sweet baking chips (6 oz)

Method

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Cut cookie dough in half crosswise. Cut each section in half lengthwise. Press dough in bottom of an ungreased 10- or 9-inch springform pan. Bake 12 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove partially baked crust from oven. Cool 10 minutes.
  2. While crust is cooling, beat cream cheese in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat until smooth. Add coconut, ¼ cup sugar, the coffee, and vanilla; blend well. Stir in ⅓ cup baking chips. Spoon and carefully spread mixture over crust. Sprinkle with all topping ingredients.
  3. Bake 30 to 45 minutes longer or until filling is set and edges are golden brown. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen; carefully remove sides of pan. Cool 1 hour. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until chilled. If desired, serve with French vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt and chocolate-covered coffee beans. Cover and refrigerate any remaining torte.
