  4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the coconut crust in the pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
  6. While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the topping by whisking together the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and sour cream until smooth.
  7. Once the cheesecake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, spread the topping evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
  8. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
