Instructions:

Crust Preparation:

1. First, combine the Crust Ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
2. Next, mix the ingredients well and press the Crust firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
3. After that, bake the Crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Then, remove it from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

Cheesecake Filling:

1. To prepare the Cheesecake Filling, start by beating the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.

Nanaimo Bar Layer:

1. For the Nanaimo Bar Layer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder until well combined.
2. Then, gradually add the beaten egg and mix until smooth.
3. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, chopped walnuts, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Baking and Cooling:

1. Now, assemble and spread the Cheesecake Filling evenly over the cooled Crust in the springform pan.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the Cheesecake for about 45-50 minutes until the center is set. You may need to cover the top with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
3. Once baked, remove the Cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.

Chocolate Ganache Topping:

1. To prepare the Chocolate Ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. After that, remove it from heat and pour it over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
2. Let the mixture sit for a minute, then whisk until the Chocolate Ganache is smooth and glossy.

Final Assembly and Serving:

1. Next, apply the Ganache Topping over the chilled Cheesecake and spread it evenly.
2. Once done, return the Cheesecake to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set the Ganache.
3. Finally, when the Ganache is set, remove the sides of the springform pan and serve the delectable Nanaimo Bar Cheesecake chilled.
