Ingredients
Scale
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Butter (melted)
For the cheesecake filling:
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup Coconut milk (full-fat for best results)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1/2 cup Whipped cream (for topping, optional)
- Shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
-
- Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a muffin tin or mini cheesecake pan (using cupcake liners is optional) to form the crust.
- Bake the crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Prepare the filling: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until combined and creamy.
- Add the pineapple: Gently fold the pineapple chunks into the cheesecake filling.
- Assemble the cheesecakes: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the cooled crusts in the muffin tin. Smooth the top with a spoon or spatula.
- Chill: Place the mini cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours (or overnight) to set properly.
- Serve: Before serving, top each cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy your tropical mini cheesecakes!
Notes
- If you prefer a more intense coconut flavor, you can substitute part of the condensed milk with more coconut milk.
