Neufchâtel has less fat, while ricotta is often less expensive.

Combine crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted unsalted butter in a bowl until well mixed.

Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.

Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.

Add vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.

Stir in toasted sweetened shredded coconut and caramel sauce.

Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan.

Spread evenly and smooth the top with a spatula.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Before serving, drizzle the top with additional caramel sauce and sprinkle with semi-sweet chocolate chips.
