i think i'll go with the mint---will it taste ok to add unsweetened coconut? should i add it to crust and/or cake? how much ?
|
I think the coconut would muck up the texture, so grinding the coconut - in a food processor or coffee grinder - for the crust would be best. You can also add some coconut to the chocolate mixture.

I corrected it in my post.

also, can i use almond butter for the crust?
|
No, it wouldn't turn into a crust.

and finally, when i made your cheesecake the last time , i got a giant crack down the middle--- what happened?
|
Your oven may be too hot, or you may have forgotten to run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake after removing it from the oven. The cake shouldn't puff up in the middle at all, only slightly around the sides.

where do you buy unsweetened choc--is it in a bar form? and the whipping cream-- is that heavy cream??
|
Grocery stores, in the baking section. Ghiradelli is fine.

Yes, the heavier, the better.
