Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
2 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍬
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed coconut milk
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
For the topping:
1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted
Fresh pineapple slices (optional)
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2️⃣ For the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner. Bake for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
3️⃣ For the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the sweetened condensed coconut milk, mixing until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and crushed pineapple. Divide the filling evenly among the muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full.
4️⃣ Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set and the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cheesecakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
5️⃣ For the topping: Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Garnish the cooled cheesecakes with toasted coconut, fresh pineapple slices, and whipped cream, if desired.
