Ingredients
1 cup crushed graham crackers (or gluten-free alternative)
1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)
2 cups cream cheese (softened)
1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
1/4 cup fresh pineapple juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup diced fresh pineapple (for topping)
Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted coconut oil until well combined. Press firmly into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add coconut milk, sugar, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Pour the filling over the crusts, filling each liner about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until centers are just set.
- Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, top each mini cheesecake with diced fresh pineapple and toasted coconut flakes.
Notes
Use full-fat coconut milk for best texture and richness.
Substitute coconut sugar for a more natural sweetener.
Top only right before serving to keep fruit fresh and coconut flakes crisp.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze (without toppings) for up to 2 months.
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free graham crackers in the crust.
