Strawberry-Coconut CheesecakeMark Thomas

Since this cheesecake needs to chill for several hours, it's easiest to bake it a day ahead of time.

Test-kitchen tip:

Baking cheesecake in the gentle, even heat of a water bath (bain-marie) ensures a uniform texture. *Available at specialty foods stores and natural foods stores. **Available in the liquor section of most supermarkets.
