Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 24 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Coconut cream
• 0.5 cups Crushed pineapple, drained
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Shredded sweetened coconut (optional, for garnish)
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 6 Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the coconut cream and mix until well incorporated.

Step 6

Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple.

Step 7

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 8

Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Step 10

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 30 minutes to cool gradually. This helps prevent cracking.

Step 11

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.

Step 12

Before serving, garnish with shredded coconut, whipped cream, and maraschino cherries, if desired.

Step 13

Slice and enjoy this creamy, tropical Pina Colada Cheesecake!
