  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk DIY by simmering milk and sugar or use coconut condensed milk.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Coconut Pineapple Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare your baking pan, ideally a springform pan.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter until fully blended. Press into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly golden. Let cool.
  3. Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the sweetened condensed milk, then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded coconut.
  4. Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes until set around the edges with a jiggle in the center.
  5. Turn off the oven and crack the door. Allow cheesecake to cool for about 1 hour before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Consider adding toppings like additional pineapple chunks or toasted coconut flakes before serving.
