crust:
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup, 1/2 bar) butter
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) sugar
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup coconut cream powder

filling:
3 packs/bars (24 oz.) cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 lemon (juice only, filtered)
1/2 cup coconut cream powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp coconut extract

To make crust:
Melt butter, mix all ingredients, cover bottom of springform pan and smooth out, bake at 350 degree F, 15-20 minutes. Let cool.

To make the cake:
Warm cheese and eggs to room temperature, mix everything in the filling list (
except the eggs) with an electric mixer, then add eggs one by one while mixing, until it's smooth. Pour into the springform pan with crust. Bake at 325 degree F for one hour. Do not open the oven door during first half hour. Cake is done if the center is settled (does not move when you shake the pan).
