Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Food processor or ziplock bag for crushing cookies
  • Muffin tin or cupcake mold
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 150 g digestive cookies
  • 60 g melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons grated coconut
  • 400 g cream cheese at room temperature
  • 400 ml condensed coconut milk
  • 2 units eggs
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 200 g fresh pineapple cut into small cubes
  • fine slices pineapple (for decoration)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare a cupcake mold with liners.
  • Crush the digestive cookies into fine crumbs, then mix with melted butter and grated coconut.
  • Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of each liner and chill while preparing the filling.
  • Beat the cream cheese until soft and fluffy, then mix in the condensed coconut milk, eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the pineapple cubes, then pour the filling over the chilled cookie bases, filling each about three-quarters full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are set but centers jiggle slightly; cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
  • Top each cheesecake with a thin slice of pineapple and sprinkle with roasted grated coconut before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Consider experimenting with different fruits like mango or passionfruit for variation. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze without decorations for up to a month. Don't rush the resting time; it's essential for the best texture.
