How to Make Mini Pineapple Condensed Coconut Milk Cheesecakes
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or use silicone molds.
Step 2: Make the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, shredded coconut, and melted butter.
Mix until it resembles wet sand.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture into each muffin cup and press it down firmly using the back of a spoon or a small glass.
Bake for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool while preparing the filling.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add sweetened condensed milk and coconut milk, mixing until fully incorporated.
Stir in vanilla extract, cornstarch, and salt.
Gently fold in drained crushed pineapple.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. (Do not overmix — this helps prevent cracks.)
Step 4: Fill and Bake
Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the prepared crusts.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the centers are just set but still slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let cheesecakes cool inside for 10 minutes.
Then remove and cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating.
Chill for at least 3 hours (overnight for best flavor).
Step 5: Add the Pineapple Topping
In a small saucepan, combine crushed pineapple and sugar over medium heat.
Cook for about 5 minutes until thickened slightly, then cool completely.
Top each mini cheesecake with a spoonful of pineapple mixture, a swirl of whipped cream, and a sprinkle of toasted coconut.
Pro Tips for the Creamiest Mini Cheesecakes
🌴 Drain pineapple well: Too much juice can make the batter watery.
🥥 Use full-fat coconut milk: It gives the creamiest texture and tropical richness.
🍋 Add a hint of lime zest: For a subtle citrus note that enhances the tropical flavor.
❄️ Chill thoroughly: Cheesecakes firm up and develop flavor as they cool.
Flavor Variations
🍓 Tropical Berry Mix: Add a layer of mango or strawberry puree instead of pineapple topping.
🍫 Coconut Chocolate Twist: Drizzle with melted dark chocolate before serving.
🍍 Piña Colada Style: Add a splash of rum extract and top with a maraschino cherry.
🥭 Mango Coconut Cheesecakes: Replace pineapple with fresh mango puree for a golden, exotic twist.
How to Store
🧊 Refrigerator: Store covered for up to 5 days.
❄️ Freezer: Freeze unfrosted cheesecakes in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
Serve chilled for the most refreshing, creamy bite.
