For the Whipped Cream:
⅔ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, coconut, and melted butter until combined. Press into a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake for 10 minutes; let cool.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
Blend mango and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
In a mixer, blend cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, then eggs one at a time. Mix in sour cream, vanilla, mango-lime puree, and lime zest until smooth. Pour over cooled crust.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Wrap the pan in foil. Place in a roasting pan; fill with hot water until 1 inch up the sides of the cheesecake pan.
Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 60-65 minutes until the center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cool for 1 hour. Then cool on the counter for another hour. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Prepare the Glaze:
Blend mango, lime juice, and lemon juice until smooth.
In a saucepan, whisk cornstarch and sugar; add a bit of puree and heat gradually. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir occasionally as it cools.
Prepare the Whipped Cream:
Whip heavy cream until thick. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; whip until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pipe whipped cream around the edge of the cheesecake. Pour cooled glaze into the center, spreading it to the whipped cream border. Garnish with toasted coconut.
