Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Digestive biscuits or gluten-free cookies are substitutes.
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter Can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
Filling
  • 16 ounces Cream Cheese Full-fat works best for a smooth finish.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Coconut sugar can be used instead.
  • 3 large Eggs Ensure they are at room temperature.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt is a healthier substitute.
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk Can also be homemade.
  • 1 cup Crushed Pineapple Drain well; fresh can be simmered briefly.
  • 1 cup Shredded Coconut Opt for unsweetened to reduce sugar.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Use pure extract for the best flavor.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • electric mixer
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Large baking dish
  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter until fully moistened. Press this mixture firmly on the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form an even base. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant, then allow it to cool completely.
Make the Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Incorporate sour cream and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
Incorporate Pineapple and Coconut
  1. Gently fold in crushed pineapple and shredded coconut into your creamy filling, being careful not to overmix.
Bake the Cheesecake
  1. Pour the filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Wrap the pan in aluminum foil and place it in a larger baking dish filled with hot water. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
Cool and Chill
  1. Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for about an hour to cool gradually. Afterward, transfer to the counter to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
