Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
  • ½ cup crushed pineapple, drained

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, sugar, and cinnamon until combined.
  • Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Let it cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add sour cream and sweetened condensed milk, mixing until silky.
  • Stir in key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  • In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream, coconut cream, and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  • Gently fold in pineapple juice and crushed pineapple.
  • Spread piña colada fluff over the cheesecake and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  • Before serving, add whipped cream, lime wedges, shredded coconut, pineapple chunks, and maraschino cherries.

Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for smoother mixing. Don’t skip the chilling time to ensure the layers set properly. Toasting the shredded coconut in the crust can add extra flavor. For a healthier alternative, consider using low-sugar ingredients and dairy-free options.
