Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitute with crushed vanilla wafers for a different flavor.
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter Can be substituted with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
For the Filling
  • 16 ounces Cream Cheese Use full-fat for optimal creaminess.
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk A homemade version can be made with whole milk, sugar, and butter.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt can be a suitable substitute.
  • 1 cup Fresh or Canned Pineapple Fresh pineapple must be cooked to deactivate bromelain before use.
  • 1 cup Shredded Coconut Adjust the amount based on personal preference.
  • 2 large Eggs Ensure they're fully cooked for safety.

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric Mixer

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter, stir until crumbly. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in sweetened condensed milk, then add sour cream and eggs, blending until just combined.
  3. Gently fold in crushed pineapple and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 1 hour, until edges are set but center is slightly jiggly.
  5. Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Remove cheesecake from the springform pan and top with additional crushed pineapple, toasted coconut flakes, or coconut cream before serving.
