Method
Prepare the Crust
- 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
- 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
- Gently fold in crushed pineapple and shredded coconut into your creamy filling, being careful not to overmix.
Bake the Cheesecake
- 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
- 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.
