Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut

⅓ cup sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

For the Topping:

1 cup whipped cream

½ cup fresh pineapple chunks

Toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Lime zest for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or line it with parchment paper.

    Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form a crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.

      Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully blended.

        Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Be careful not to overmix, as this can introduce too much air into the batter.

          Incorporate Pineapple and Coconut: Gently fold in the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and lime juice into the mixture until evenly distributed.

            Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door cracked open for about 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.

              Cool and Chill: Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for the best flavor and texture.

                Prepare the Topping: Before serving, spread the whipped cream over the top of the cheesecake. Garnish with fresh pineapple chunks, toasted coconut flakes, and a sprinkling of lime zest for a tropical touch.

                  Serve: Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve your Coconut Pineapple Cheesecake chilled. Enjoy your slice of paradise!
